在以计算机为媒介的交流中,参与者必须积极地执行和构建种族和民族等社会类别,以获得可见性;可以说,新形式的超级多样性及其社会语言学含义在这里变得特别明显。因此,这种种族化的话语为CMC的社会语言学分析提供了理想的材料。基于这些假设,本研究的重点是如何在网络论坛奈拉兰,一个数字社区和互动的地方尼日利亚当地人,第一代和第二代尼日利亚移民,以及其他种族背景的参与者进行种族和民族。一个大规模的语料库(1700万令牌,时间跨度为4年)进行了分析,在种族和民族身份建设的社区成员,特别是,使用尼日利亚洋泾浜作为一个民族语言的剧目在社区内考虑。分析包括全球化的社区结构的可视化,种族和民族标签的分布的定量评估,和一个定性的接近阅读的侨民的叙述归属。本研究的结果说明了如何使用和(往往是有意识的)选择的ethnolinguistic剧目有助于复杂和多样的种族/民族身份显示在论坛数据。从这个意义上说,本文有助于我们理解超多样性的社会语言学含义,以及数字中介在其出现中所起的重要作用。
In computer-mediated communication, social categories such as race and ethnicity have to be actively performed and constructed by participants in order to gain visibility; it can be argued that new forms of super-diversity and their sociolinguistic implications become particularly tangible here. As a consequence, such racialized discourse provides ideal material for a sociolinguistic analysis of CMC. Based on these assumptions, this study focuses on how race and ethnicity are performed on the web forum Nairaland, a digital community and place of interaction for Nigerian locals, first- and secondgeneration Nigerian emigrants, as well as participants with other ethnic backgrounds. A large-scale corpus (17 million token, time span of 4 years) was analyzed in terms of racial and ethnic identity construction of the community members; in particular, the use of Nigerian Pidgin as an ethnolinguistic repertoire within the community was taken into account. The analysis includes visualizations of the globalized community structure, a quantitative assessment of the distribution of racial and ethnic labels, and a qualitative close reading of diasporic narratives of belonging. The results of this study illustrate how the use and (often conscious) selection of ethnolinguistic repertoires contribute to the complex and varied racial/ethnical identities on display in the forum data. In this sense, this paper makes a contribution to our understanding of the sociolinguistic implications of super-diversity, and the essential role that digital mediation plays in its emergence.
