This book explores the use of English within otherwise
local-language conversations by two continental European social
media communities. The analysis of these communities serves not
only as a comparison of online language practices, but also as a
close look at how globalization phenomena and 'international
English' play out in the practices of everyday life in different
non-English-speaking countries. The author concludes that the root
of the distinctive practices in the two communities studied is the
disparity between their language ideologies. She argues that
community participants draw on their respective national language
ideologies, which have developed over centuries, but also reach
beyond any static forms of those ideologies to negotiate, contest,
and re-evaluate them. This book will be of interest to linguists
and other social scientists interested in social media, youth
language and the real-world linguistic consequences of
globalization.
