O autorze

Marie Maegaard is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen. Her research is primarily concerned with linguistic variation and social meaning. Recent research includes studies of linguistic change in peripheral areas, linguistic and cultural commodification, perception of phonetic variation, and media discourse. She has published articles in major sociolinguistic and linguistic journals, as well as handbook chapters and book chapters for edited volumes. Additionally, she has co-edited several books and special issues on subjects such as linguistic standardization, phonetic variation, and language & gender.

Malene Monka is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen. Her research combines dialectology and sociolinguistics. In her work, Monka has incorporated human geographic understandings of place to gain new insights on processes of dialect leveling. Monka has published extensively in Danish and Nordic journals on dialectology and sociolinguistics, in an edited volume on Place and Belonging (Monka 2018) and in Language in Society (Monka et al. in press).

Kristine Køhler Mortensen holds a postdoc position at the University of Gothenburg. Her research lies within sociolinguistics and multimodal analysis. She has specialized in both online and offline interaction with a particular focus on gender and sexuality. She currently carries a postdoc position at the University of Gothenburg working on a project called "Sexual integration": Sexuality in contemporary global migration in which she focuses on discursive connections between nationalism and sexuality. She has published in several international journals, edited a volume on language and social media (Stæhr & Mortensen), and co-authored two handbook chapters (Mortensen & Milani fortc. a, Mortensen & Milani forthc. b).

Andreas Candefors Stæhr is an Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on language and social media, with particular attention to the topics of linguistic normativity, sociolinguistic reflexivity, media ideologies and social positioning among contemporary youth. His current research focuses on the intersection of social media use and family socialization in Copenhagen families; i.e. studying which communicative functions social media serve in the family and how social media affect and facilitate family socialization today. He has published his work in journals such as Language & Communication, Discourse, Context & Media, Language Variation & Change and has book chapters in edited volumes on language and super-diversity.
