As social media keeps changing, so does the representation of World Englishes across the wide range of platforms available. This edited volume explores the different varieties of English on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and YouTube.

Social media platforms showcase an ever-increasing diversity in languages and varieties of languages used on them. Divided into several parts, the book focuses in turn on language variation in digital contexts, identities and social meaning making, and metalinguistic commentary, and ends with a discussion section providing an overview of World Englishes and social media. Investigating these areas in detail, the book covers a wealth of topics, including ethical questions and research methodology, linguistic features and creativity, and meta-discourse. By offering up-to-date coverage of English use across different platforms, it provides an in-depth insight into the dynamic space of language variation online.
