Abstract:

As social media keeps changing, so does the representation of World
Englishes across the wide range of platforms available. This edited
volume explores the different varieties of English on various social
media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and
YouTube.
Social media platforms showcase an ever-increasing diversity in
languages and varieties of languages used on them. Divided into three
parts, the book focuses in turn on language variation in digital
contexts, identities and social meaning making, and metalinguistic
commentary, and ends with a discussion chapter providing an overview
of World Englishes and social media. Investigating these areas in
detail, the book covers a wealth of topics, including ethical
questions and research methodology, linguistic features and
creativity, and meta-discourse. By offering up-to-date coverage of
English use across different platforms, it provides an in-depth
insight into the dynamic space of language variation online.
