• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The internet has revolutionised the way we interact and caused a complete shift in the dynamics of our communication. The Sociolinguistics of Digital Englishes introduces core areas of sociolinguistics and explores how each one of them has been transformed by the current era of globalization, particularly with regard to the spread of English and its current status as a global language. The key topics covered include language, power and internet competence; gender and race construction on the internet; and code-switching and virtual Englishes. This book will be key reading for all students studying Sociolinguistics and Digital Communication, with an interest in language in the globalised multimedia world.

Rezensionen

"This is a book we have badly needed. The Sociolinguistics of Digital Englishes is about language, culture, society, world Englishes, digital media, and the modern global world. It is an excellent introduction to each area and to their integration. But is also full of deep insights and path-breaking ideas. It is rare that anything this usable as a textbook is this smart."
James Paul Gee, Arizona State University, USA

"This well-researched, pioneering book will help build sociolinguistic knowledge about the Internet rights/responsibilities of users of English."
Francisco Gomes de Matos, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco and ABA Global Education, Recife, Brazil
