Abstract

This WiP paper will report the compilation of the corpus of Multilingual / Multimodal WhatsApp discussions at Hanken (MMWAH). The target data donors are Swedish-speaking young adults in Finland. This demographic group is of particular interest in the study of bi- and multilingualism and the coexistence of Swedish, English and Finnish in CMC. Furthermore, the corpus will lend itself to research on multimodal / polysemiotic practices in instant messaging and the maintenance of social networks and identity-building through the linguistic and other semiotic
resources at the speakers’ disposal.
