Representing Russian: Ideology and Alphabet Choice in Ukrainian Social Media Posts
Sun, November 23, 12:00 to 1:45pm EST (12:00 to 1:45pm EST), -Abstract
This paper describes and analyzes examples of social media posts and comments in which Ukrainian Cyrillic is used to represent Russian speech, a phenomenon Androutsopoulos (2015) has termed trans-scripting. Examples drawn from a corpus of Facebook posts from 2014-2025 demonstrate the use of trans-scripted Russian to express and invite reader alignment with shared political and linguistic ideologies.
