This book offers new insights into transnational family life in
today’s digital age, exploring the media resources and language
practices parents and children employ toward maintaining social
relationships in digital interactions and constructing
transnational family bonds and identities. The book seeks to expand
the boundaries of existing research on family multilingualism, in
which digital communication has been little studied until now.
Drawing on ethnographic studies of four families of Senegalese
background in Norway, Lexander and Androutsopoulos develop an
integrated approach which weaves together participants’
linguistic choices for situated interaction, the affordances of
digital technologies, and the families’ language and media
ideologies. The book explores such key themes as the integration of
linguistic and media resources in family repertoires, creative
practices of digital translanguaging, engagement in diaspora
practices, and opportunities of digital communication for the
development of children's heritage language skills. With an
innovative perspective on ‘doing family’ in the digital age,
this book will be of interest to students and scholars in
multilingualism, sociolinguistics, digital communication, language
and communication, and language and media.
The chapters in this edited volume explore the sociolinguistic
implications of orthographic and scriptural practices in a diverse
range of communicative contexts, ranging from schoolrooms to
internet discussion boards. The focus is on the way that scriptural
practices both index and constitute social hierarchies, identities
and relationships and in some cases, become the focus for public
language ideological debates. Capitalizing on the now robust body
of literature on orthographic choice and debate in sociolinguistics
and anthropological linguistics, the volume addresses a number of
cross-cutting themes that connect orthographic practices to areas
of contemporary interest in sociolinguistics and linguistic
anthropology. These themes include: the different social
implications of self vs. other representation and the permeability
of the personal/social and the public/private; how scriptural
practices ("inscription") serve as sites for social discipline; the
historical and intertextual frameworks for the meaning potentials
of orthographic choice (relating to issues of genre and style); and
writing as a broader semiotic field: the visual and esthetic
dimensions of texts and metalinguistic "play" in spelling and its
ambiguous implications for writer stance.
Our everyday lives are increasingly being lived through electronic
media, which are changing our interactions and our communications
in ways that we are only beginning to understand. In Discourse 2.0:
Language and New Media, editors Deborah Tannen and Anna Marie
Trester team up with top scholars in the field to shed light on the
ways language is being used in, and shaped by, these new media
contexts. Topics explored include: how Web 2.0 can be
conceptualized and theorized; the role of English on the worldwide
web; how use of social media such as Facebook and texting shape
communication with family and friends; electronic discourse and
assessment in educational and other settings; multimodality and the
"participatory spectacle" in Web 2.0; asynchronicity and
turn-taking; ways that we engage with technology including reading
on-screen and on paper; and how all of these processes interplay
with meaning-making. Students, professionals, and individuals will
discover that Discourse 2.0 offers a rich source of insight into
these new forms of discourse that are pervasive in our lives.
