We Would Be Friends: Fans, Musicians And Social Media, Cassidy Byrnes

INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference

With social media being one of the most prominent forms of communication today, it has become a pillar in the way our society functions.

Fans, through social …

Trending En Tiktok: El Cambio De Código Como Estrategia Discursiva; Trending On Tiktok: Code-Switching As A Discursive Strategy, Jessica Vrioni

INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference

Code-switching es la alternancia de two languages durante una frase, oración o conversación. Esa frase es un ejemplo de cambio de código. Hay muchos usos diferentes de cambio de código y algunos son el uso emblemático, el uso para mostrar la identidad y el uso para repetición o clarificación. También la falta de uso de cambio de código es importante. Ahora, con más acceso a las redes sociales y el internet, hay aún más usos de cambio de código. En TikTok, muchos de los usos de cambio de código pueden ser usados como una estrategia discursiva cuando el uso de …
