DiLCo Video Reader: A YouTube-based Collection of Lectures on Digital Language and Communication Research, DiLCo Network (“Digital Language Variation in Context”, University of Hamburg), Germany.
The DiLCo Video Reader is a dedicated YouTube channel with 36 video-recorded presentations that were commissioned and produced by the DiLCo Network (“Digital Language Variation in Context”, University of Hamburg) from 2021-2024.
Authored and delivered by expert researchers from all over the world, these videos represent state of-the art scholarship covering qualitative (interactional, ethnographic), quantitative (variationist, computational), and mixed-methods approaches to digital language and communication research in linguistics.

[01] Digital language variation and change
[02] Digitally mediated interaction
[03] Digital discourse and narrative
[04] Semiotic features and communicative practices

All video content is also available in a chronological listing. And full details are available in a citeable Information file (DOI: https://doi.org/10.25592/uhhfdm.14786). Organizers hope the DiLCo Video Reader will be useful to scholars worldwide as a resource for research and teaching.
