Abstract
This chapter returns to the research questions that were posed in Chap. 1 and draws together some of the dominant themes of the findings from different case studies. More specifically, this chapter highlights how language ideologies evolve when they are transferred from news to new and social media, whether language ideologies are similar or different in English and French, and attempts to delimit how these might evolve in the future. It will also review some of the methodological challenges posed by changes in the media and how these might be addressed in future research. Finally, this chapter also highlights Canada’s changing linguistic (and language–political) context.
