Abstract:

Internet-mediated communication is pervasive nowadays, in an age in which many
people shy away from physical settings and often rely, instead, on social
media and messaging apps for their everyday communicative needs. Since
pragmatics deals with communication in context and how more gets communicated
than is said (or typed), applications of this linguistic perspective to
internet communication, under the umbrella label of "internet pragmatics", are
not only welcome, but necessary. 

The volume covers straightforward applications of pragmatic phenomena to
internet interactions, as happens with speech acts and contextualization, and
internet-specific kinds of communication such as the one taking place on
WhatsApp, WeChat and Twitter. This collection also addresses the role of
emoticons and emoji in typed-text dialogues and the importance of “physical
place” in internet interactions (exhibiting an interplay of online-offline
environments), as is the case in the role of place in locative media and in
broader place-related communication, as in migration.
