This chapter is part of a broader research project that investigates the functions of codeswitching in the online community of Russian-speaking immigrants living in Italy. The focus of the current contribution is playful manipulations of code hereby analyzed under the framework of digital code play. This play includes various semiotic resources, such as grammatical and semantic variations deployed by the communicants on the Internet and the metalinguistic comments surrounding them. Digital code play often occurs in contexts where social and linguistic norms are negotiated. The material analyzed here comprises comments from forums and Facebook groups dedicated to the communication of Russian speakers. The chapter targets three discussion topics on the forum, Russianitaly, and one post on the Facebook group, Russkie v Italii ʻRussians in Italyʼ. These topics and posts focus on language elements and language use and attracted the attention of many users who reported unusual mixing of languages in a playful way. A qualitative analysis of the forms of the play and the surrounding comments shows that users position themselves as multicompetent speakers: creative individuals empowered by multilingual and sociocultural knowledge who are able to combine and recontextualise (linguistic) resources from different sociocultural spaces to create new meanings and values.
