Diaspora, Digital Media, and Multilingualism
There has been a remarkable growth in the interest of multilingual online practices in diaspora networks over recent years. With the fast‐growing emergence of linguistic varieties, cultural immersions, and interactions through social media networks, multilingual and digital language repertoires and practices of diasporic communities have become more multimodal. This rapid change has become relevant beyond the academic and public contexts, reflect…
Pedagogical translanguaging in digital environments. Teaching and learning with tablets in a multilingual Norwegian classroom
Owing to increasing linguistic diversity in Norwegian classrooms, the national curriculum requires teachers to incorporate a resource perspective on multilingualism in their teaching Many of these classrooms have also become heavily digitized. Few studies, however, have concerned themselves with how these two developments interact, that is, how teachers utilize tablets for educational achievement in linguistically diverse classrooms. This study a…
Introduction
Article Introduction: learning, re-learning, and un-learning language(s) in the multilingual family during COVID-19 lockdown was published on March 1, 2024 in the journal Multilingua (volume 43, issue 2)
Innovative methods in collaborative research
Recent developments in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics bring with them a need for methodological innovation in the study of multilingual communication in the online/offline nexus. As a response to this, our paper reports from a research project on migrants' digital interaction to consider how mediagrams can be used for collaborative research in multilingual workplaces and schools. A mediagram is a visual tool used for collaborative data …
Tensions of place and opposing emblems of authenticity and marginal gentrification in Grünerløkka, Oslo
Indexing the ‘included’ migrant? Social categorization and interpersonal digital interaction between labor migrants, teachers and employers in Norway
Permanent or temporary homes
Questions surrounding mobility and migration are often connected to matters of language, citizenship, socio-economic status and class that are inherently unequal between developed and less-developed nation states. Scholars of geography and demographics have conceptualized both internal and external/international migration with “push” and “pull” factors as salient reasons for mobility. Traditional causes of external migration and so-called “push f…
Polymedia and family multilingualism
This paper investigates family multilingualism in a polymedia perspective, presenting results from a study of transnational communication among four families with Senegalese background, living in Norway. Ethnographic interview data collected in 2017 and 2018, including mediagrams, are analysed to get insight into the families’ uses of media and language. Furthermore, the moment-by-moment language practices through which family relationships are m…
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…
Literacies in contact when writing Wolof – orthographic repertoires in digital communication
This paper investigates the resources writers activate when they spell Wolof, a West African language they usually use more in spoken than in written communication. I apply the notion of orthographic repertoire to examine three young women’s spelling of Wolof as socially embedded practices. The analysis covers three different sets of interactional data: (1) texting by Senegalese university students, (2) discussion forum posts, and (3) transnation…
Introduction. Multilingual literacy practices - global perspectives on visuality, materiality, and creativity
In this special issue introduction, we briefly discuss the history of multilingual writing research before we examine the research presented in the issue in light of three cross-cutting themes: visuality, materiality, and creativity. We conclude with a summary of the papers and the insights they add to our understanding of shifting multilingual literacy practices in the twenty-first century
Le SMS amoureux. Une étude des pratiques de l’écrit plurilingues liées à la vie amoureuse des jeunes Sénégalais
Cet article traite de certaines pratiques de l’écrit, urbaines et relativement récentes, à savoir les messages transmis par téléphone portable, les SMS. Les études sur le SMS accordent souvent une place centrale à la communication amoureuse. Pourtant, l’aspect évoqué ici – les effets du choix de langues sur l’expression des relations d’amour – reste peu étudié. Afin d’analyser ces effets, les scripteurs étudiés sont des étudiants de Dakar ayant u…
Texting Africa
This paper discusses African multilingual digital writing, focusing on one digital genre: texting. Our analysis draws on quantitative and qualitative data from five highly multilingual African countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa. Writers are shown to draw on local as well as global linguistic resources in crafting their messages. Being a good texter requires the performance of 'textual linguistic dexterity': the abi…
Texting and African language literacy
Mobile communication has become an important part of everyday life in Senegal, and text messages have turned out to be highly multilingual. So far Senegalese language policy has supported the use of the official language, French, in education and in writing in general, while the majority language, Wolof, has dominated the oral sphere. As SMS texts tend to include use of Wolof and other African languages as well as French, the question is whether …
