"A timely addition to the growing scholarship on language use in digital contexts. In this book, Lee elegantly weaves together topics ranging from linguistic diversity to code-switching to online translation. Written in a highly engaging style, Multilingualism Online is the first comprehensive work to engage with these topics since Danet & Herring´s The Multilingual Internet (2007); at the same time, Lee shows us just how much has changed over the last decade -- both in terms of technological affordances as well as in our digital practices."
