Abstract:

Social network sites are dynamic online socio-cultural arenas which give users
ample and unprecedented opportunities for self-presentation through the
meshing of language with other semiotic modes. With a focus on Facebook, one
of the most widely-used online social network sites, this book brings together
ideas and concepts related to language online, multimodality, and identity
through five topical issues. These include place, time, profession and
education, stance-taking, and privacy. 

The book features a discourse-centred online ethnography that provides
authentic verbal and multimodal Facebook posts in both Greek and English .
These are complemented with insights from interviews with Facebook
participants. The examples bring to life various engaging instances of self-
and other-presentation on Facebook identifying the ways in which users can:

- locate themselves in terms of place and time;
- announce activities, share and broaden their expertise and buttress
solidarity among colleagues and fellow students;
- communicate emotions, tastes, thoughts, opinions and assessments; 
- control the flow of textual information on their Facebook profiles to secure
their privacy. 

Focusing on discourse manifestations of identity, this book also shows how
Facebook can function as a space for vernacular literacy practices, a silo of
relationships, a digital memory bank, a research tool, a knowledge forum, a
cardiograph of a society, and a grassroots channel.
