Hi, Parisa.<br><br>> 2. I wonder if you can direct me to some references on discoursal articles<br>> on emails.<br><br>I am afraid I do not have an answer to your first question, at least<br>not without a clearer idea of the goals of your research, but perhaps<br>I can provide a few pointers as to the second.<br><br>Susan Herring has written rather extensively on computer-mediated<br>communication. One of the earliest papers on the matter is her "Two<br>variants of an electronic message schema", published in her edited<br>book, Computer-Mediated Communication: Linguistic, Social, and<br>Cross-Cultural Perspectives (Amsterdam: Benjamins, 1996). A few years<br>later, she included an article by Cho ("Linguistic features of<br>electronic mail") in her Computer-Mediated Conversation (Cresskill NJ:<br>Hampton Press, 2003). And there is plenty of additional material in<br>the open access Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication,<br><span><a target="_blank"
