“If you talk to someone under eighteen in the UK, you go to jail”
This study examines how Iranians engage in identity work on live-streaming apps across geographical, political, and cultural borders. Drawing upon nexus analysis and ‘chronotope’ as an analytical tool and employing discourse analysis of a twenty-minute conversation between a young girl in Iran and two boys in Europe, the study demonstrates how specific chronotopes, imbued with certain values, identities, and moral behaviors, traverse borders, whi…
Woman/life/freedom
Modern day protest movements consist of demands for social action to address entrenched issues such as government leadership and long-standing traditions and values. Driven by an initiating event that incites a collective societal outburst and mobilisation, protestors engage a range of linguistic and semiotic expressions to challenge existing discourses, increasingly platforming these messages globally through the intersection of digital technolo…
The small things of Global South
In this paper, we present a research approach that sheds light on how netizens on social media perform and negotiate their multimodal and multisemiotic repertoires embedded within their social media languaging practices. This approach brings multimodal social semiotics into conversation with the normativity of translingualism to problematise the notion of languages as being ‘ordinary’ or ‘mundane’, and to illustrate how translingual netizens depl…

Funeral and mourning rites capture so many aspects of the Iranian traditional and religious rituals and provide members of society with cultural tools of lamenting the dead. The study presents socio-cultural considerations in connection with social space and action, linguistic interactions, and semiotic resources of rituals used in mourning ceremonies for Shiite Muslims in the city of Nur, Iran. The paper relies on a mediated discourse analysis a…

Semiotic resources and mediational tools in Merrylands, Sydney, Australia
This study draws on ethnographic data from a street, replete with multiple cultural-semiotic (non-language elements), and linguistic resources, in Merrylands in Sydney. The paper investigates two shops (Persian and Afghan) in that street in Merrylands and aims to explore local language practices in relation to the activities carried out within these shops by applying a nexus analysis and mediated discourse analysis. Theoretically, the article arg…
The framing of the linguistic landscapes of Persian shop signs in Sydney
This study provides an interpretive perspective on the linguistic landscape (LL) of ethnic Persian shops in the city of Sydney, Australia. Photographic data and ethnographic observations demonstrate how linguistic and cultural displays on ethnic Persian shops are organized in different frames which are driven by local symbolic markets. These frames are investigated through an analysis of linguistic and semiotic resources drawn on these ethnic pre…
