Heteroglossia Online: Translocal Processes of Meaning-Making in Facebook Posts

By Caroline Schilling

The analysis of 1,507 Facebook posts of German university students participating in the Erasmus exchange program explores how posters "reaccentuate" and "relocalize" mobile semiotic resources. In doing so, they create translocal frames of meaningfulness in concrete heteroglossic interactions among speakers with diverse language backgrounds.
