Lache, Giere, Boeie. The use of insubordinate infinitives in informal computer-mediated communication

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

The present paper focuses on the use of insubordinate infinitives in social media writing produced by Flemish adolescents. It combines insights from usage-based, cross-linguistic research on insubordination with expertise in the sociolinguistics of online communication. We demonstrate how insubordinate infinitives, in view of their evaluative and discursive functions, find a perfect breeding ground in informal online communication and how this particular context pushes the insubordinate infinitives into notably advanced evolutionary stages.
