ABSTRACT

The use of English in Iceland has increased, in part due to globalisation and technological advancements. In the research project Modeling the Linguistic Consequences of Digital Language Contact (https://molicodilaco.hi.is), a nationwide profile was constructed of the amount of Icelandic and English input that Icelandic speakers of different ages receive, their language use and skills, and their attitudes towards the two languages. In this chapter, some of the results from our 3–15-year-old participants are presented, focusing on the children’s digital usage, their input and language use, video game input and language attitudes.
