[Linganth] twitter piece for undergrads?

[Colleen Cotter]

Here are two that I use in my undergrad Language and Media class:

* A chapter on Twitter in David Crystal's 2011 Internet Linguistics (Routledge).

* Zappazigna, Michele. 2011. Ambient affiliation: A linguistic perspective on Twitter. In New Media & Society.

The online version can be found at:
http://nms.sagepub.com/content/early/2011/05/26/1461444810385097


The Zappazigna article uses Systemic Functional Linguistics but the premises are familiar to ling anth/discourse people.


Best,

Colleen

Not sure how relevant this is but digital journal Schwa Fire just published a piece on accent tagging through YouTube. May be of interest since YouTube is a form of social media.

Greetings all,

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, clear piece of work on twitter or social media of the kind that David Crystal wrote on texting in 2008? I'd like to locate something more current along that line.

One piece is the 2015 AE article: #Ferguson: Digital protest, hashtag ethnography, and the racial politics of social media in the US. However, the class has already spent a good deal of time discussing language and race, so I am hoping to find another option.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Kate Browne
