Scripts in interaction
This article examines scriptal hybridity in Greek digital discourse through the framework of trans-scripting, a script-focused extension of translanguaging. Moving beyond digraphia and biscriptality, which conceptualize scriptal choice as functionally distributed and socially compartmentalized, trans-scripting highlights how fluid and context-specific recombinations of scripts serve as semiotic resources in mediated discourse and interaction. The…
Synergetic developments in digital discourse methods
Scaling as method
Drawing on research on graphic contextualization cues in punctuation and typography, this paper describes a three-stage, mixed-methods approach to digital discourse analysis. It introduces the terms ‘scale’ and ‘scaling’ as methodological metaphors for a researcher’s planned, yet contingent movement through formations of digital textual data that differ in terms of volume, method of collection, processing, and analysis. ‘Scaling-as-method’ aims t…
Punctuating the other
This article investigates the nested relationship between graphic cues, voice, and positioning in digital discourse. The focus is on the 'indignation mark', or , an allographic sign used in German-language discussion boards on Reddit. The study's theoretical backdrop brings research on graphic practices in digitally-mediated communication into dialogue with sociolinguistic approaches to the enactment of group relations in discourse, in particular…
Scaling the pandemic dispositive
This paper uses the notions of dispositive and scale to explore the emergence and transformation of pandemic signage, focusing on a subset of regulative signs, i.e. requests to wear a mask. Based on a crowdsourced dataset of pandemic signs collected in Hamburg, analysis examines the multimodal resources sign-makers mobilize to create mask-requirement signs and the change of these signs in the transition from the first to the second pandemic wave …
Global issues and local findings from Greek contexts
Any glo bally circulating piece of research that flags up a particular national-language context as its centre of attention is bound to raise a twofold expectation in this day and age: To discuss a specific state of affairs in a particular language/society, and to use this as a case in point to cast light on wider theoretical, methodological or empirical issues. The contributions to this issue take their cue from recent sociolinguistics and disco…

Die Sprachlandschaft des schulischen Raums
The study of signage in educational settings (‘schoolscape’) is a recent development in linguistic landscape research. Some approaches to schoolscapes focus on signs in schools of various types, which are coded for formal and functional characteristics, including language choice. Other approaches examine signs alongside spatial practices, e. g. the arrangement of furniture and classroom activities, thereby taking the viewpoints of teachers, stude…
Investigating digital language/media practices, awareness, and pedagogy
Digital punctuation as an interactional resource
Sign-genres, authentication, and emplacement
This paper asks how language and other semiotic resources are deployed in the semiotic landscape of Thai restaurants in the city of Hamburg, Germany. Based on detailed multimodal analysis of signage in twelve restaurants, this study draws on both established and underexplored topics in Linguistic Landscape scholarship, including the analysis of sign-genres, the distinction between communicative and symbolic functions of signs, the role of languag…
Polymedia in interaction
This Special Issue on “Polymedia in interaction” theorizes and empirically investigates practices and ideologies of digitally mediated interaction under conditions of polymedia. We argue that the proliferation of mobile interpersonal communication in the 2010s calls for, and is reflected in, conceptual and methodological shifts in empirical research on digital language and communication in pragmatics and sociocultural linguistics. In this introdu…
Digital polycentricity and diasporic connectivity
Digital communication remains largely unexplored in sociolinguistic research on diaspora and language. In this paper, ethnographically collected data from Norway‐based families of Senegalese heritage are explored to identify how family members use digital media to engage with diaspora concerns and projects, and how this engagement shapes their multilingual practices online. We re‐contextualize the concept of polycentricity (Blommaert et al.) from…
Working with mediagrams
This paper contributes to current sociolinguistic research on the rapidly-changing landscape of digitally mediated communication (Androutsopoulos and Stæhr 2018) by presenting mediagrams, a new method for research on transnational mediated interaction. Based on an ethnographic study of mediated multilingual communication in four families with Senegalese-background living in Norway, we develop a visualisation scheme for the documentation and analy…
Register des Graphischen
Starting from the smallest elements of the graphical inventory (grapheme variants, punctuation, and pictographs), this book offers differentiated models of digital literacy in various communication contexts. In dialogue between the linguistics of writing and sociolinguistics, it investigates how graphical registers crystallize out of writing variations, digitally conveyed interaction, and metalinguistic reflection.

Trans-scripting as a multilingual practice
This paper introduces the term ‘trans-scripting’ to examine fleeting, socially unstable practices of writing a language in a non-canonical script. As a theoretical notion, trans-scripting conceives of script as a semiotic resource whose situated choice and sequential alternation can create discursive meaning. The case study is on ‘Hellenized English’, a recent and overall quite rare practice of representing English in the Greek script. The analys…
Mediatisierte Praktiken
Mediatisierte Praktiken sind Gefüge kommunikativer Handlungen, die im Zuge der gesellschaftlichen Mediatisierung aufkommen, Technologien digitaler Kommunikation einbeziehen und an prä-digitale Vorgänger enger oder loser angebunden sind. Der Beitrag arbeitet den Begriff der mediatisierten Praktiken durch die Engführung zweier Forschungsstränge, der soziolinguistischen Praktiken-Forschung und der kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Mediatisierungsfors…
Zuschauer-Engagement auf Twitter
This paper presents findings of a study on audience engagement on Twitter, based on tweets published during two shows of the popular German crime series, Tatort. Most existing research on the use of Twitter by broadcast audiences originates in communication studies and pays little attention to language use. In this paper we approach audience engagement on Twitter as recontextualization of practices of audience talk during television watching and …
Networked multilingualism
Integrating research on multilingualism and computer-mediated communication, this paper proposes the term ‘networked multilingualism’ and presents findings from a case study to explore its implications for the theorising of multilingualism. Networked multilingualism is a cover term for multilingual practices that are shaped by two interrelated processes: being networked, i.e. digitally connected to other individuals and groups, and being in the n…

Introduction
This theme issue ofJournal of Sociolinguisticscomprises a number of empirical studies focusing on a range of ways in which people use language in computer-mediated communication (CMC). This introduction contextualizes the contributions to this issue by providing an outline of linguistically focused CMC studies. A critique of the research on the 'language of CMC' is given, and aspects of CMC research from a sociolinguistic viewpoint are presented:…

Multilingualism, diaspora, and the Internet
The use of the Internet in diaspora has attracted considerable interest in media and cultural studies, but little attention has been paid to sociolinguistic issues. This paper is a study of linguistic diversity on websites maintained for and by members of diaspora groups in Germany. Based on online ethnography and an interpretive approach to code-switching, the paper explores the relationships between language choices and the complex architecture…

Non-standard spellings in media texts
Based on an investigation of spellings in German punk fanzines (a blend of 'fan'+'(maga)zine'), this paper sketches a framework for the analysis of non-standard spellings in media texts. The analysis distinguishes between a number of spelling types, which include both representations of spoken language and purely graphemic modifications, and three patterns of spelling usage: spellings as a part of the text's regular features, spelling choices as …
Languaging when contexts collapse
English ‘on top’
This paper responds to what I perceive as a lack of a meso level framework in the study of English in the mediascapes of the ‘expanding circle’. I shall make my case on the example of German. Traditionally, most research on German/English language contact is on Anglicisms, that is, lexical borrowings from English. Other approaches do exist, but Anglicisms research, which originated in the 1960s, still seems the dominant framework and, as most of …

Digital language practices in superdiversity
Introduction
Based on a thematic panel at Sociolinguistics Symposium 18 in Southampton (2010), this double special issue of Multilingua explores cinematic discourse as an under-examined field of sociolinguistic inquiry. Drawing on film and television data from various countries and languages, the seven articles that follow ask how cinematic discourse represents linguistic heterogeneity, what conceptual and analytical tools in sociolinguistics are adequate to …

Beyond 'media influence
Negotiating authenticities in mediatized times
Repertoires, characters and scenes
This paper examines representations of sociolinguistic difference in a German ‘ethnic comedy’ as a means to contribute to a framework for the sociolinguistic study of film. Three levels of analysis of sociolinguistic difference in film are distinguished: repertoire analysis reconstructs the entirety of codes used in a film and their assignment to characters; character analysis looks at how different ways of speaking contribute to characterisation…

Policing practices in heteroglossic mediascapes
Multimodal – intertextuell – heteroglossisch
Web-Umgebungen wie virtuelle soziale Netzwerke und Videoportale sind von Tendenzen der Partizipation, Konvergenz und Multimedialität gekennzeichnet. Diese bedeuten eine Herausforderung für sprachanalytische Zugänge, die digitale Kommunikationsformen separat voneinander untersuchen und auf mikrolinguistische Phänomene bei nur geringer Beachtung ihrer komplexen soziomedialen Rahmenbedingungen abheben. Im Beitrag wird ein bildschirm-basierter Ansatz…
