“…In describing the way this audience is constituted on Facebook, we have developed the concept of intradiversity. A number of other studies have described the Social media and the future of open debate 10 way in which the internet helps foster a form of superdiversitythe particularly complex and often unpredictable social connections which transcend geographical distancedue to the way contact can be kept up between migrants and their home communities, and the way people from different cultural backgrounds are brought together in a single online space, often around shared interests (Androutsopoulos & Juffermans, 2014). We argue, however, that on a site such as Facebook, where the network is centred around one individual's personal connections, this is less likely to be the case.…”

“…A third facet of superdiversity in social media that illustrates the lack of predictability that generally characterizes late modern and superdiverse socio-cultural conditions is demonstrated by the mobility and mobilization of linguistic and other semiotic resources that are distributed, recontextualized and resemiotized in various ways in countless and rhizomatic digital media practices mushrooming on the internet (Leppänen and Häkkinen 2012;forthcoming;Leppänen et al 2014;Androutsopoulos & Juffermans 2014).
