The modern age has further expanded on the multifaceted character
of English, which is used not only in many places in the world, but
also by a variety of users in numerous contexts. Technical
innovations have led to the rise of new registers and offered
scholars new tools to study language variation. Set in the context
of the electronic medium of social networking, and additionally
enriched with findings from the field of language attitude studies,
this study explores features of English used in the Inner, Outer,
and Expanding Circles, here represented by the UK, India, and
Poland. The analysis of the English used by Facebook members
demonstrates cultural differences as well as gender and age
similarities in the area of e.g. politeness, emotionality,
informality or code-switching.
