Moreover, it aims at drawing wider implications for the sociolinguistics of orthography in the age of computermediated communication. For the purposes of my argument, I shall draw on the distinction between ‘autonomous’ and ‘ideological’ approaches to orthography, on the sociolinguistic notions of digraphia and focusing, and on the distinction between transliteration as an abstract system and as individual practice. ,QWKHƩUVWSODFHWKHQRWLRQRIGLJUDSKLD4 will provide a conceptual frame for this chapter. In particular, the term ‘computer-mediated digraphia’ is coined for the simultaneous use of both the native Greek and the Latin script in computermediated interaction. The characteristics of Greek computer-mediated digraphia include: a lack of stability and societal agreement on the use of LAG; its persistence in transnational communication; the lack of a widely known transliteration standard, which results in a wide range of variability in transliteration practice; the emergence of metalinguistic discourses among internet users as well as in nationwide media; and the importance of technological developments for the shifting patterns of LAG use and evaluation. Within this frame, transliteration practices and discourses on ‘Greeklish’ will be examined in terms of ‘ideological’ and ‘autonomous’ approaches to orthography.5%ULHƪDQDXWRQRPRXVDSSURDFKYLHZVRUWKRJUDSKDVDŚQHXWUDOśWHFKQRORJIRUthe representation of spoken language.

The variability of ‘Greeklish’ spelling is due to the fact that Greek-to-Latin transliteration is not acknowledged within the Greek educational system. With transliteration standards hardly known outside expert circles, Greek internet users have developed a range of informal transliteration schemes, appropriating the Latin script in innovative ways. The distinction between transliteration as an abstract system and individual style, along with the notion of focusing,8 will be used to examine how individual regularity and ‘local’ norms emerge in a normative vacuum, in which choices of Latinized spelling are neither prescribed nor sanctioned. I shall reconstruct two main transliteration schemes, ‘phonetic’ and ‘orthographic’, and argue that they are relevant orientation points for both transliteration practice and discourse. Moreover, I shall draw on the notion of ‘focusing’ to examine how the range of transliteration alternatives is reduced as individual spelling styles converge towards ‘local’, group-related norms." @default.
