Abstract
Today, technology and language are in a close relationship. This paper analyzes their connection through social media and language ideologies. More specifically, two Facebook groups focused on language ‘mistakes’ are investigated as a source of language ideologies. The aim of this paper is to analyze online posts and the related comments by using critical discourse analysis. The first part of the paper presents some theoretical concepts regarding ideology and language ideologies. The second part discusses the various language ideologies about English and Croatian found in the selected corpus. The ideologies include the standard language ideology, heteroglossia, the ideology of the native speaker, and the process of iconization in the posts and the comments. These ideologies may have a harmful effect on people who are directly or indirectly stigmatized by the propagation of exclusionary ideas. Since such language ideologies can make many people feel attacked, ashamed of their language knowledge or rejected by mainstream society, more effort needs to be invested to deconstruct them in discourse.
