Summary This volume showcases innovative research on dialectal, vernacular, and other forms of "oral," speech-like writing in digital spaces. The shift from a predominantly print culture to a digital culture is shaping people's identities and relationships to one another in important ways. Using examples from distinct international contexts and language varieties (kiAmu, Lebanese, Ettounsi, Shanghai Wu, Welsh English, and varieties of American English) the authors examine how people use unexpected codes, scripts, and spellings to say something about who they are or aspire to be. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars interested in the impact of social media on language use, style, and orthography, as well as those with a broader interest in literacy, communication, language contact, and language change. Cecelia Cutler is a Professor in the Linguistics Program at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, New York, USA. May Ahmar is a Senior Lecturer in discipline in the Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department at Columbia University, New York, USA. Soubeika Bahri is an Instructor in the Modern Language Department at the University of Colorado, Denver, USA.
