“…However, they mostly wrote in their mother tongue and/or used religious references and symbols in the case of a more intimate emotional practices on social media that were related to their homeland, family and/or religion. This is in line with previous studies that show that language mixing on Facebook is important to create in-group alignment (Pérez-Sabater and Maguelouk Moffo, 2019).…”

Migration for unaccompanied refugee youth is an emotionally complex process involving mediated experiences and expressions of emotions and affect. This article draws upon social media ethnography conducted with young refugees from African and Middle Eastern countries living in Europe. The participants’ emotional practices were explored through the multimodal analysis of content they shared on Facebook. The findings highlight how the young refugees performed multifaceted yet interconnected emotional practices. These emotional practices potentially assisted their negotiation of emotional losses and gains resulting from migration. The online mediated emotionality, however, cannot be fully comprehended through the reductionist lenses of binary oppositions such as losses and gains, presence and absence, or positive and negative emotions. This article shows that unaccompanied refugee youth’s experience and expression of emotions online are influenced by more than their migration experience, and that their interconnected nature and complexity need to be considered.

“…As presented in Figure 2, there are the so called 'Intercontinental' research projects (7%), which dealt with topics that overarch continents -that is, analysing social events in connection with several regions in different parts of the world (e.g. Bacallao-Pino, 2014;Pérez-Sabater and Maguelouk Moffo, 2019). Interestingly, while South America is quite underrepresented in our database (1%), Asia (19%) and Africa (10%) received more attention.…”

Social media is an endless source of texts and images about almost everything. Accordingly, the number of analyses based on this source increases daily. Among the numerous methods social media can be analysed by, our attention focusses on discourse analysis (DA). DA is a complex approach which makes it possible to capture not only the linguistic characteristics of given texts, but also their socially constructive and socially constructed features. Therefore, we carried out a systematic examination of the articles at one of the largest academic databases, EBSCO available in 2019 which used DA in social media research. Our investigation studies not only the geographical distribution of this corpus, but the different self-proclaimed DA approaches. Furthermore, we developed a three-level scale in order to capture the methodological complexity of the collected articles. At one end of the scale there are those research papers where discourse appears only as a label for the textual material gathered, without further indication of any DA theories or methodologies. The other end, however, refers to those research projects which applied DA both in their theoretical and methodological frameworks, providing complex discourse analytical investigations of social media texts. This way we were able to demonstrate the wide array of DA perspectives employed in social media research.

“…(Androutsopoulos 2014;Blommaert, Collins and Slembrouck 2005). Whereas the literature suggests that writing on SNS is characterised by variability due to the varied resources and the writer's identity (Androutsopoulos 2014;Blommaert, Collins and Slembrouck 2005), recent studies argue that variability appears to be a frequent phenomenon in online writing by bilinguals (Christiansen 2018;Pérez-Sabater & Moffo 2019;Riley 2015), who code-switch while online. Written discourse on SNS involves such variable as a bi-and multilingual public audience that is characterised by a varied social distance to the bilingual writer (Androutsopoulos 2015).…”

“…Written discourse on SNS involves such variable as a bi-and multilingual public audience that is characterised by a varied social distance to the bilingual writer (Androutsopoulos 2015). In particular, an online bilingual writer's public audience on such SNS as Facebook may involve family, close friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, people who follow the writer on Facebook (followers), and any user of Facebook provided they have access to the public updates and/or public posts by the Facebook writer (Christiansen 2018;Pérez-Sabater and Moffo 2019;Riley 2015). Presumably, the variation in the audience as well as the social distance within the members of the social networks map onto a bilingual writer's choice of the linguistic code while writing on SNS.…”

“…There is a burgeoning line of research that explores written discourse produced by bilinguals on SNS, in particular, on Facebook (Christiansen 2018;Pérez-Sabater and Moffo 2019;Riley 2015). Arguably, there are several research themes that provide a common denominator for the studies conducted between 2015 and 2019.…”

This article presents a case study concerning the use of discourse markers (further -'DMs') in the writing of status updates on Facebook by a group of early balanced English/Italian bilinguals (further -'participants'), who were born in Australia in the families of Italian immigrants. The corpus of the participants' status updates on Facebook was analysed by means of the WordSmith software for linguistic analysis (Scott 2008) in order to identify the frequency of DMs used by the participants in the English and Italian languages, respectively. The results of the data analysis indicated that the participants employed, predominantly, English DMs (for instance, and, but, though, and yep), while the repertoire of the Italian DMs was limited to diciamo (English equivalents, e.g. let's say, I mean), ecco (English equivalents, e.g. here, well), and ma (English equivalents, e.g., but, yet). These findings are further presented and discussed in the article.
