'The Spanish of the Internet': Is That a Thing?

De Benito Moreno, Carlota (2021). 'The Spanish of the Internet': Is That a Thing? In: Perez, Danae Maria; Hundt, Marianne; Kabatek, Johannes; Schreier, Daniel. English and Spanish - World Languages in Interaction. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 258-286.

Abstract

This chapter first describes certain innovations found in computer mediated communication in Spanish at the levels of discourse and morphosyntax, such as the creation of new discursive traditions (clickbait headlines) and the innovative patterns displayed by a number of morphemes (-i) and lexemes (fuerte, ojalá). It then offers a qualitative analysis of these phenomena, working with data mostly taken from Twitter, and compares them to similar uses described for English (such as the Because X construction). The chapter ends with an explanation of the high frequency of these uses in computer mediated communication in terms of indexicality.
