This contribution will review the linguistic practices in Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) networks used in the Galician diaspora in Argentina within the framework of the concept of galeguidade. To this end, both material collected from virtual platforms and forums and interviews with users of the same will be analysed. The Internet also provides new Galician speakers in the diaspora with a substantial change in contact with traditional speakers, and participation in cultural activities takes on a radically different dimension in the context of the digital age. Communication technologies have always been crucial for maintaining diasporic relations with the homeland. In recent decades, in the context of the dynamics of globalisation, the impact that new technologies have on minority linguistic communities has been taken into account. In particular, recently, the use of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) platforms stands out. It is in this scenario that a new field of study appears in which, on the one hand, a line of study of sociolinguistic dynamics in the Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) domain and, on the other hand, diaspora studies converge. In this environment, the concept of digital diaspora is very useful. This concept reflects both a new type of participation and a new space in which its members participate in activities related to information technology. For a qualitative understanding of the practices of the diaspora community in the twenty-first century, it is not only advisable but also imperative to address its virtual dimension. Virtual Galician is key to activating the Galician language abroad as it allows speakers of the Heritage Language (HL) in the diaspora to interact in global use of the language in written form (in addition to audio messages and video calls). For Galicians, like other diasporas, the Internet presents an opportunity for the construction of a cultural and linguistic identity. Computer-mediated identity construction is hybrid, since it lives in the global-local nexus that characterises contemporary societies. This new space is the stage for highly productive and important dynamics and practices for the linguistic revitalization process.

摘要

This contribution will review the linguistic practices in Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) networks used in the Galician diaspora in Argentina within the framework of the concept of galeguidade. To this end, both material collected from virtual platforms and forums and interviews with users of the same will be analysed. The Internet also provides new Galician speakers in the diaspora with a substantial change in contact with traditional speakers, and participation in cultural activities takes on a radically different dimension in the context of the digital age. Communication technologies have always been crucial for maintaining diasporic relations with the homeland. In recent decades, in the context of the dynamics of globalisation, the impact that new technologies have on minority linguistic communities has been taken into account. In particular, recently, the use of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) platforms stands out. It is in this scenario that a new field of study appears in which, on the one hand, a line of study of sociolinguistic dynamics in the Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) domain and, on the other hand, diaspora studies converge. In this environment, the concept of digital diaspora is very useful. This concept reflects both a new type of participation and a new space in which its members participate in activities related to information technology. For a qualitative understanding of the practices of the diaspora community in the twenty-first century, it is not only advisable but also imperative to address its virtual dimension. Virtual Galician is key to activating the Galician language abroad as it allows speakers of the Heritage Language (HL) in the diaspora to interact in global use of the language in written form (in addition to audio messages and video calls). For Galicians, like other diasporas, the Internet presents an opportunity for the construction of a cultural and linguistic identity. Computer-mediated identity construction is hybrid, since it lives in the global-local nexus that characterises contemporary societies. This new space is the stage for highly productive and important dynamics and practices for the linguistic revitalization process.
