Re. Internet discourse

[Chao-chih Liao]

Dear Lise Fontaine,

Reading the following, I feel that you have at least a paper (book) on discourse of a personal email between two close friends. May I read it?  Perphas you attached it in some list but I missed to keep or read it. Can you resend it?

I would like to send one more attachment, which will be published in February 2000.

Liao, Chao-chih and Hans-Georg Wolf. 2000. E-mail Discourse Structure and Cross-cultural Understanding between Taiwan and Germany. Studies in English Language and Literature. No. 7.  National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Taipei, Taiwan. Accepted.

Best regards,
Chao-chih Liao
    I agree completely. In fact, the text I analysed is a personal email between two close friends.  I discuss this point in my assignment, that email messages can certainly cover a wide range of styles, from formal written to casual speech-like.  The casual speech-like ones interest me most and my conclusion is in reference to this specific type of email text.
