dc.description.abstractToday, cyber-communication with its various manifestations is proliferating ubiquitously in the lives of most people. Linguistic variations and changes which used to happen over centuries or decades appear to be now taking place in a matter of years. There is likelihood that social dynamics of language that we have been debating over the years may require renewed attention in the digital discourse. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Urdu/English bilinguals use their linguistic repertoire in cyber-communication, and in what ways they are adapting linguistic ecology of English that seems to be encouraging language variation. Much like researchers dealing with any kind of data, researchers who deal with digital data are often confronted with a variety of non-trivial questions. Most of them relate to the size and representativeness of data samples; data processing techniques; limitations of genres; kind and amount of the necessary contextual information; and ethical issues, such as anonymity and privacy protection. Keeping such questions in mind, the procedures of data collection, ethical considerations of collecting and handling data, data analysis and the theoretical underpinnings were set up to address the underlying research questions
