[Corpora-List] studies of the language of discussion groups

[Przemyslaw Kaszubski]

Hello,

I'm asking this on behalf of a student: does anyone have any pointers to
empirical studies of discussion group etc. language from a sociological
perspective? Her topic is to demonstrate that such groups may be regarded
as language communities. Apart from Crystal's Language and the Internet
she has almost no sources.

Apologies if you think this question is irrelevant to your interests.
