Abstract

This paper discusses the sustainability of linguistic research of CMC. The paper argues for contextualisation of the linguistic phenomena studied and the role of informant and researcher identities in any investigation, motivating this proposition through the concept of
language ecology. The arguments are exemplified through the author’s research project on Finnish Swedish speaking young adults’ instant messaging discussions on WhatsApp.
