This lecture was a keynote at the 6th International "Language in the Media" Conference that took place from 7-9 September 2015 at Universität Hamburg.

This conference"s theme focuses on language practices in a world where mediated interaction and mediatised representations increasingly shape our experience of community and society. This invites us to question rigid distinctions between media and community language, virtual interaction and "real life", and to reconsider our theorising of communicative and linguistic change.
