How does language shape identity, power, and connection at the intersection of academic life and digital communication?
The book Language Practices in Digital and Academic Contexts: Multilingual, Cross-Cultural, and Discourse Perspectives is an edited anthology that presents an in-depth exploration of how language is used across digital platforms and educational settings. This edited volume brings together a collection of empirical studies examining how individuals—especially university students—use language to express themselves, construct meaning, and negotiate identity in multilingual and multicultural environments.
Divided into four thematic sections, the book discusses:
- Language styles and rhetorical strategies in social media and public discourse,
- Multilingual interaction and translanguaging in informal digital spaces,
- Pragmatic features and communication practices in academic settings, and
- Institutional language as a vehicle of ideology and authority.
From WhatsApp messages and YouTube videos to classroom presentations and political speeches, each chapter demonstrates how everyday language practices are deeply connected to broader cultural and social contexts.
This edited anthology is intended for scholars, students, and educators in linguistics, media studies, communication, and education. It provides clear examples of how language operates in real-life situations and encourages readers to understand language as something shaped by context, interaction, and purpose.
