ABSTRACT
Research on digital practices in the language and superdiversity paradigm draws widely on ethnographic methods of data collection and analysis, which originate in sociolinguistics and computer-mediated discourse studies since the late 1990s. In recent language and superdiversity research, these methods are developed into multi-sited and multi-media ethnographic designs by which to examine the relationship of linguistic heterogeneity, transnational mobility and digital mediation technologies at the levels of individuals, communities, and semiotic resources. We identify four relevant research themes: the role of digital media for transnational trajectories, the consequences of polymedia for linguistic repertoires, practices of transmodal interaction, and the recontextualization of semiotic resources.
