Abstract:

After conquering the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics!
Since the advent of social media, cats have become a topic central to
online communication, and the multitude of cat-related accounts now
online has made this a world-wide phenomenon. Through cat-inspired
varieties of language, we have developed a genre of cat-inspired
vocabulary. And on our special social media accounts for our cats, we
take on their identities, as we post, write, talk, and chat - as our
feline friends. This innovative book provides linguistic analyses of
the cyber 'Cativerse', exploring online language variation, and
explaining key linguistic concepts – all through the lens of
cat-related communication. Each chapter explores a different
sociolinguistic phenomena, drawing on fun and engaging examples
including memes, hashtags, captions and 'LOLcats', from platforms such
as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Innovative yet
accessible, it is catnip for all 'hoomans' interested in how language
is used online.
