"This is a book we have badly needed. The Sociolinguistics of Digital Englishes is about language, culture, society, world Englishes, digital media, and the modern global world. It is an excellent introduction to each area and to their integration. But is also full of deep insights and path-breaking ideas. It is rare that anything this usable as a textbook is this smart."James Paul Gee, Arizona State University, USA"This well-researched, pioneering book will help build sociolinguistic knowledge about the Internet rights/responsibilities of users of English."Francisco Gomes de Matos, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco and ABA Global Education, Recife, Brazil
