Data collected from surveys, text-based chats, and interviews were analyzed Has explored in-depth the use of language as social action in online text-based Studies, a number of different language features (e.g., orthography, code switching) andįunctions (e.g., representation of gender) common to TBC have been analyzed, but none English (del-Teso-Craviotto,Ģ006), Serbian vs. Some of the few studies whichĮxplored CMC cross-linguistically include the comparison of French vs. Over the last decade has been done in English as L1. Much research in computer-mediated communication (CMC)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the text-based chatting practices of a particularĬommunity of native Macedonian speakers who chat both in Macedonian and in English Evidence from empirical data collected will include surveys and online observations. This study will set out a critical perspective on how such practices on SNSs are shaped by Chiang Rai adolescents to make new kinds of meanings, negotiate identities and relationships, and establish belongingness within both local and transnational SNS communities. As key findings will demonstrate, the complexity of participants’ language and literacy practices in SNSs involves the blending of not only different languages and modes but also cultural resources (e.g., textual conventions and genres) – or what I refer to as linguistic, multimodal and cultural code-meshing practices. Therefore, this thesis will also draw from multimodality as an analytical framework to account for participants’ multimodal texts (e.g., images, colours and layout). However, both of these theories cannot provide a systematic account of adolescent participants’ multimodal texts in depth.
This thesis will draw from sociolinguistic and sociocultural theories of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and intertextuality to analyse adolescent participants’ linguistic and multimodal texts and how they shape and are shaped by a range of discourses in SNSs. There is also limited research in this area that provides a combined framework to account for the social, cultural, multimodal and linguistic repertoires of adolescents as materialised in their SNS practices. Despite considerable research on language and literacy, there remains a limited body of research focused on adolescent literacy in Thailand and in rural contexts, such as Chiang Rai. Particularly, it will examine how adolescent participants are engaging with SNSs in ways that extend their learning and life opportunities beyond what is typically accessible in their rural province of Chiang Rai. This thesis will explore language and literacy practices in social networking sites (SNSs) that both draw on and expand beyond traditional principles of composition.
