- demonstrates how key concepts such as language change, speech communities, gender construction and code-switching are affected by digital communications;
- analyzes examples of the interaction of Englishes and social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Urban Dictionary; and
- provides questions for discussion and further reading with each chapter.
