New CMC + Sociolinguistics listserv, blog

[Lauren Squires]

Dear AoIRers (+ others),

What a great week/end in Chicago! Thanks to everyone for the great ideas, 
conversation, and inspiration.

Some of you might be interested in a couple of new online developments for 
the fostering of discussion related to sociolinguistics (very broadly 
construed) and CMC: a new LinguistList listerv, as well as a group blog.  We 
(= three linguistics grad students) are hoping to create these spaces to 
encourage discussion, collaboration, and valuable resource-sharing amongst 
people doing, or simply interested in, sociolinguistic-type research on CMC. 
 Please forward.

For description of the CMC-SLING listserv, to subscribe, or to see the 
listserv archives (which currently consist of our ramblings on how we should 
start a listserv):

Blog, "Sociolinguistics and CMC": http://sociocmc.blogspot.com

Though sparse now, these entities should be evolving much in the next few 
weeks/months - very exciting, please join in.

Best,
Lauren
