Description
Social media and everyday languaging
(Andreas Stæhr, University of Copenhagen)
In this talk I examine the role of social media in young peoples' everyday lives and I illustrate how social media (as a central place for everyday language use) can be studied from a perspective of linguistic ethnography. In the presentation I focus on the (interrelated) themes of sociolinguistic normativity andlinguistic reflexivity in relation to social media interaction. More specifically I aim to show (1) how spoken face-to-face and digitally mediated written language practices co-contribute to similar processes of enregisterment and (2) discuss how social media interaction can be said to foster metalinguistic and metapragmatic reflexivity.
