The purpose of this study is to examine language choice, language alternation and code-switching practices in
Instant Messaging (IM). Specifically, this article presents the results from an analysis of the written conversations of a
specific community formed by Valencian adults fluent in English. Taking a computer-mediated, discourse-centred ethnographic
approach to online discourse, the study has shown that, in this specific trilingual online community of language teachers,
language choice and the choice of a specific written variety is intimately related to audience. The group members mix Catalan,
English and Spanish regularly, their language choice and code-switching strategies serving to establish in-group solidarity,
familiarity and lessen face-threatening acts. Switches to English, sometimes followed by a switch to Catalan, are usually employed
for humorous word play. Interestingly, the case study exemplifies how the use of a certain language may be highly correlated to
ideological and political considerations.
