The volume comprises 10 papers whose data were collected from questionnaire, participant observation, written materials, online and audio-visual sources, just to name a few. The analyses done in the various papers are sociolinguistic, cognitive, graphological, morphological, lexical, discursive, semantic, pragmatic, etc. --
