Abstract

This volume presents the Proceedings of the Second International Workshop organized by the IUSS Postgraduate Research Center LETiSS and held under the title Languages Go Web. Standard and non-standard languages on the Internet. As anyone can see, the Internet, and more specifically the Web, is today being utilized to do what in a certain sense defines us as human beings: that is, to relate to others, to create and strengthen cultural and social ties – ultimately, to communicate. The online use of national and official languages, as well as non-standard, dialectal, or so-called contact languages is currently and will continue to be of great interest for linguists. Therefore, it has been put under the microscope of the authors of the papers collected in the volume both in order to detect the language changes that have taken or are taking place due to the Internet and to trace possible linguistic scenarios from a political and social viewpoint.
