This book explores the interaction between three key aspects of everyday life-language, writing, and mobility -with particular focus on their effects on language contact.

Linguistic studies have often emphasized that writing is external to language, but the discipline
nevertheless owes its analytic categories to writing. Finally, the digital revolution has fundamentally changed communication patterns, transforming the social functions of writing and consequently also of language.
