Multilingualism And The Internet by The British Academy published on 2016-03-30T14:07:53Z A panel discussion arranged in association with the AHRC, 20 November 2012 Speakers considered how the spread of a high-speed global internet and increasing use of social media has changed the way in which global citizens interact linguistically. Speakers were invited to explore questions of language and linguistics in flux: what are the opportunities and challenges of a growing world wide web and its associated technologies? How has the internet enabled new ways for language users to interact? What impact is this having on the languages themselves? The panel discussion was chaired by Prof Shalom Lappin FBA, Kings College London, and panellists included Prof Louisa Sadler, University of Essex, Dr Matthew Stuttle, Google and Dr Ivan Panović, University of Oxford.
