Abstract:

"World Englishes on the Web" focuses on linguistic practices at the
intersection of international migration and social media, examining the
language repertoires of Nigerians living in the United States, and their
negotiations of identity and authenticity on a Nigerian web forum. Based on a
large corpus of informal, multilingual, interactive, online writing, this book
describes how diasporic Nigerians employ African-American Vernacular English,
Nigerian English, Nigerian Pidgin, and ethnic Nigerian languages in an online
community of practice. The project combines corpus linguistic methods—relying
on a corpus management tool custom-made for web forum data—with
ethnographically-informed qualitative analyses of morphosyntactic, lexical,
and orthographic features, and immigrants’ language attitudes and ideologies.
It is relevant particularly for linguists and other social scientists
interested in World Englishes, the sociolinguistics of globalization and
computer-mediated communication, corpus linguistics, and pidgin and creole
languages
