<div dir="ltr">Good morning,<div><br></div><div>I unfortunately don't have an academic article to recommend, but a few years ago one of my students turned my attention to "subtweeting" and I've since found #subtweet useful for teaching about implicature.  (<a href="http://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2014/jul/23/subtweeting-what-is-it-and-how-to-do-it-well">http://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2014/jul/23/subtweeting-what-is-it-and-how-to-do-it-well</a>)  It provides a good, familiar set of data off of which students can bounce Grice's maxims, and helps them understand that Grice is not advocating a certain kind of etiquette, but giving us a tool through which (at least among certain speakers of English) we can identify implicature.  Perhaps you're not teaching about Grice at this juncture, but if you're looking for an example of how Twitter can be used non-referentially, I've used this exercise pretty successfully.  </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps!</div><div><br></div><div>-- Deborah --</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 12:38 AM, Browne,Kate <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Kate.Browne@colostate.edu" target="_blank">Kate.Browne@colostate.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Tahoma;color:#000000;font-size:10pt">Greetings all,
<div><br>
<div>Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, clear piece of work on twitter or social media of the kind that David Crystal wrote on texting in 2008? I'd like to locate something more current along that line.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One piece is the 2015 AE article: #Ferguson: Digital protest, hashtag ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the US. However, the class has already spent a good deal of time discussing language and race, so I am hoping to find another
 option. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for any suggestions!</div>
<div><br>
