Abstract

World languages: people, migration and cultures - shifting paradigms in the 21st century. New literacies emphasises theoretical-methodological frameworks describing the way linguistic systems work by drawing on users’ perspective while bearing in mind that linguistic productions and language change in natural languages operate with various extralinguistic dimensions and contexts (Baym 2015; Collins, Baynham, & Slembrouk 2009; De Meo et al. 2014).
