Discussant needed for panel on computer-mediated conversation

[Susan Herring]

I would very much appreciate recommendations (including self-recommendations)
for a qualified person to be a discussant for a panel I am chairing on
"Computer-Mediated Conversation" for the 5th International Pragmatics
Conference in Mexico City this July. The ideal discussant would be an
established scholar with interests in both discourse analysis and
computer-mediated communication, and who is already planning to attend the
Pragmatics Conference.

The original proposal for the panel included Helen Dry in this role, but
unfortunately Helen is unable to attend the conference.

If you have a suggestion for someone you think would be appropriate, please
e-mail me at susan at utafll.uta.edu.

Many thanks,
Susan Herring
