![]() The article falls within the ethnographic linguistic framework (Creese, 2008). Last, I discuss the role of health education in terms of wider processes of social exclusion and intercultural (mis)understandings. Also, I show that in children‟s health conversations nutritional value becomes an interactional resource. I discuss how learning outcomes in health educational activities depend on individuals‟ understandings prior to interactions as well as on the process of co-ordinating these understandings through language. It is culturally embedded but linguistically defined, constructed, and negotiated, and the understanding of health differs widely. Health is considered a cultural, social, moral, and linguistic concept. I analyze three situations where the health value of milk, water, and juice is topicalized. This article treats the socialization into healthy food practices in a Danish multi-ethnic kindergarten classroom. Key words: Normativity, enregisterment, social media, youth, multisided ethnography I describe how the use of these resources points towards different stereotypes and what sense of rights and sanctions are involved in the reactions to the use these different types of marked language use. So both spoken and written discourse should be considered in language change, and in this article I illustrate how young people from a linguistically and culturally diverse area of Copenhagen use linguistic features indexical of speech styles on Facebook. Yet concepts such as Agha’s (2007) enregisterment argue in favor of incorporating written practices, since enregisterment encourages us to consider all metapragmatic processes that contribute to making a particular ‘way of discourse’ differentiable (Agha 2007:80). ![]() ![]() However, this is not reflected in studies of language change, as it has not been customary to incorporate written practices. In this paper I argue that written practices take up an important role in people’s everyday discursive practices because of the widespread availability and impact of social media and digital communication.
