Abstract

This paper explores the media ideologies of German adolescents, which play a crucial role in naturalizing, rationalizing and justifying young people’s media choices in their daily digitalized social interactions. I argue that digital writing practices can only be fully understood when taking the interdependencies between their underlying language ideologies and media ideologies into account. Moreover, the sociolinguistic differentiation of writing forms can be seen as interwoven with these systems of socially and culturally shared beliefs about communication.
