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