“…FB plays a significant role in the daily linguistic repertoires of people around the world (de Bres 2015), involving semiotic, heteroglossic and linguistic creativity. As Leppänen et al (2015: 4) point out, superdiversity in social media is realized by "the mobility and mobilization of linguistic and other semiotic resources that are distributed, recontextualized and resemiotized in various ways in countless and rhizomatic digital media practices mushrooming on the internet" (see also Leppänen et al 2009). …”

Drawing on offline and online casual interactions in the context of youth in Mongolia, on the Asian periphery, this article looks at youth mixed language practices from the perspective of "linguascapes" in order to capture the current flows of transnational linguistic resources in relation to other social landscapes. The study seeks to contribute to current discussions of the sociolinguistics of globalization by investigating to what extent and in what way resources make up linguascapes among youth groups with different access to resources. The main implication of this study is that youth linguascapes in Mongolia are fundamentally diverse, as a result of the combination of varied transcultural resources. At the same time, these resources are unevenly distributed and unequally localized.

“…The largest number of different varieties and forms of 'multi-voicedness' and heteroglossy could be observed among young people. The more complex the users interconnect/interlink, the more translocal or hybrid the communication and play with languages and identities, the more difficult researching these data becomes (see Fetscher, 2009;Leppänen et al, 2009).…”

This study is an example of how categories relevant to research can be accessed through in-depth interviews. The interview method generates an interactive awareness process to which both partners contribute in equal measure, and which complies with the requirements of intercultural research ethics.Fü r die interkulturelle Forschung ist die virtuelle interkulturelle Kommunikation von großem Interesse. Wie kann ein Forscher Zugang zu diesem Untersuchungsfeld gewinnen, wenn er die dort verwendeten Sprachen nicht oder nur teilweise spricht. Die Untersuchung zeigt exemplarisch wie mit der Methode des problemzentrierten Interviews ein Zugang zu forschungsrelevanten Kategorien gefunden werden kann. Die Interviewmethode generiert einen interaktiven Erkenntnisprozess, zu dem beide Interviewpartner gleichberechtigt beitragen und der den Anforderungen an eine interkulturelle Forschungsethik gerecht wird.

“…This gap was long seen as a deficit for the immigrant children and as a major factor in explaining the widespread academic underachievement and lack of upward social mobility of minority students (and still is, see Crawford, 2001 and essays in Gorter & Extra, 2008 for critiques). At the same time, it was demonstrated that this gap offered a rich terrain for inspecting the social dynamics of language contact, for instance in providing an almost infinite and dynamic range of identity resources for young people, often connected with popular culture and with subcultural patterns of conduct (Rampton, 1995;Harris, 2006;Leppänen et al, 2009). …”
