Sociolinguistics and Mobile Communication By Ana Deumert Have wireless, mobile communication technologies changed the way people interact with one another? What does it mean to be able to speak or write to anyone, anywhere, and get an immediate response? And what does the profusion of these technologies mean for the study of language in social life? Raising important questions about the nature of language and the creativity of speakers, here Ana Deumert examines the role of multimodality and intertextuality in creating meaning, as well as the realities and consequences of digital linguistic inequality. Taking a global perspective, this textbook presents a nuanced, ethnographically-informed understanding of mobile communication and sociolinguistics, exploring a wide range of digital applications. These include, including: SMS, email, tweeting, Facebook, YouTube, chatting and Wikipedia.

Ana Deumert is Associate Professor in Linguistics at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.
