English in Computer-Mediated Communication: Variation, Representation, and Change

Product Description
The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies, which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics.

For further publications in English linguistics see also our Dialects of English book series.

Review
[...] this edited volume is a welcome and much needed addition to the growing collection of literature on sociolinguistics in CMC. Most importantly, the deviation away from framing technology as something predicted to always drastically influence or impact language is exactly the rebalancing that this area of interest needs if we are to move forward in our research.Selina Sutton in: LINGUIST List 30.1257
