Digital communication, social media, and Englishes
Scholarship in world Englishes has long been interested in the impact of digital media on the spread of English worldwide. This special issue on 'World Englishes and digital media' examines how English(es) are positioned and used in relation to other languages in digital communication, what pragmatic functions English and other languages serve, and how various linguistic choices affect identity work in the context of digital communication. It is …
Sports, Instagram, and conflict talk in Englishes
This study examines conflict talk and ‘othering discourse’ on Instagram involving the 2018 Winter Olympics hosted in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The disqualification of highly anticipated medalists in short track speed skating events elicited heated online arguments between Korean and Chinese sports fans. A content analysis of antagonistic texts featuring anti‐Korea and anti‐China posts reveals that ‘othering’ practices are predominantly performed …

Multilingual advertising in the linguistic landscape of Seoul
This study examines commercial signs in arguably the two most visited tourism districts in Seoul, namely Myeongdong and Insadong. It focuses on beauty and food businesses and analyzes featured languages and their content and roles in signage. This article argues that business types, specialized marketing focus, and intended sales pitch influence business owners' linguistic choices. The findings of the study suggest that the beauty industry relies…

Everywhere You Go, You See English: Elderly Women's Perspectives on Globalization and English
Drawing on in-depth interviews, this article discusses folk notions of globalization and examines perceptual and attitudinal responses offered by educationally underprivileged working-class female senior citizens, arguably the most neglected and marginalized social group in contemporary Korea. The present study stresses the importance of incorporating “vernacular data” (Garrett, 2010) into the discourse on globalization and sheds light on the eve…
English on Korean television
This study discusses verbal humor in entertainment media and examines polarizing representations of English on Korean television. English is a source of stress as well as a medium of humor. Language anxiety about English speaking skills is frequently focalized and viewed as a personal challenge by Korean celebrities, but they often transform their linguistic 'complex' into humorous talk. This study argues that using English, possibly the most rev…

Globalization of African American Vernacular English in popular culture: Blinglish in Korean Hip Hop
This study examines crossing (Bucholtz 1999; Cutler 1999; Rampton 1995) in Korean hip hop Blinglish as a case study of globalization of African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in popular culture. Blinglish in Korean hip hop can be understood as a prime example of “English from below” (Preisler 1999) to informally express subcultural identity and style. The findings of the study suggest that AAVE features appear at different linguistic levels i…

The battle of the sexes in Korean entertainment media: Husband vs. wife in TV drama
I'm the illest fucka
An analysis of African American English in South Korean hip hop. English is rarely used in face-to-face terms in South Korea, but the use of English in commerce and entertainment is not such a rarity. The presence of English expressions in advertising and pop lyrics is no longer considered extraordinary. Lee (2006) reports that 83.75% of 720 South Korean TV commercials use some type of English, and only 16.25% of advertisements rely exclusively o…
North Korea, South Korea, and 007 Die Another Day
This study investigates discursive strategies that North and South Korea recruit in constructing ‘the otherness’ of the common cultural enemy, the United States, regarding the controversy surrounding the movie 007 Die Another Day. The findings of this study indicate that both North and South Korea successfully construct negative representations of their mutual opponent, who is reiteratively embedded in the following lexical items: the US, America…
Linguistic constructions of modernity: English mixing in Korean television commercials
This study investigates the construction of linguistic modernity via English mixing in the discourse of Korean television commercials. Specifically, it is concerned with Korean-English bilinguals' linguistic construction of modernity as realized in three domains of advertising: technology, gender roles, and taste as a cultural form. Four hours of commercials were video-taped in Seoul, South Korea, during weekend prime time from August through Oct…
Crossing and crossers in East Asian pop music: Korea and Japan
This paper examines crossing and crossers between Korea and Japan in the domain of pop music. Crossing of semiotic products such as music between the two countries, in both a “linguistic” and “physical” sense, presents a sociolinguistic case in which renegotiation of positions of ex-colonizer (Japan) and ex-colonizee (Korea) is promising. The turbulent cultural and linguistic dynamics between the two countries have undergone stages of oppression,…
A Conversation Analysis of Self-repair in Asian Englishes
The speakers of Asian Englishes in this study engage in self-repair when no corrections need to be made. The most common repair the interactants utilize is predominantly self-initiated self-completed repair. In addition, they employ their own characteristic signature phrase and each interlocutor's respective signature phrase serves multiple functions at different times in their discourse, for example, as a repair initiator, a delaying device, or …

Linguistic hybridization in K-Pop: Discourse of Self-Assertion and Resistance
English mixing in Korean popular music (K-Pop) is prevalent and heterogeneous in its forms and functions. The size of a mixed English constituent in K-Pop lyrics varies from a single word to an entire song. The manifestation of linguistic sophistication differs from Koreanized English only intelligible to the Korean public to American English with African American Vernacular English (AAVE) features. Functions of English mixing are also varied fro…
