Abstract:

Digitalization has profoundly transformed our communicative and
linguistic environment, and the language used most in digital media
around the globe is English. The articles in this book present new
research focusing on the ways in which the English language and its
speakers are influenced by digital modes of communication. Traditional
notions of language contact and change are being redefined, and data
obtained from digital platforms offer new answers to old questions. In
addition to descriptions of linguistic development, the book
illuminates sociolinguistically motivated perceptions and
performativity regarding English language use in diverse digital media
environments.
Readership: University libraries and scholars, lecturers, and students
interested in English language contact, digital communication, and
linguistic change will value this book’s insights into how
digitalization reshapes English use, sociolinguistic perceptions, and
communicative practices across global digital media environments.
