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.
