Abstract

This chapter explores the multilingual, multidialectal, and multimodal interaction of adult immigrants in the context of digital media composition in the US Southwest. The analysis draws on the notions of heteroglossia, multimodality, and translanguaging, to examine interactions between adult learners of English and the values they attach to different languages, varieties of language, and semiotic systems. With a focus on talk about the challenges and possibilities of creating websites in Spanish (and certain varieties of Spanish), the analysis illuminates the productive coexistence of multiple meaning-making resources; the ways that social, historical, and ideological forces shape available resources and interactional negotiations; and the varied ways that individuals take up or manipulate such influences.
