Language and New Media

Language and New Media brings together researchers analyzing a wide variety of communication media - blogs, email, fax, IRC, chat, IM, text messaging (SMS), loveletters, post - and e-cards, telephone, radio, television, and website literacies such as homepage texts, wikipedia entries and website hypertextuality. The result is a volume that investigates the emergence of newer media, language change in the new media context, and issues related to the connection between newer media and older media. Thus, it offers a unique perspective on the theme of linguistic and cultural change in the context of technological evolutions.
