[Linganth] gender, twitter, and hashtags

[Steven Black]

Liz,
There¹s also an edited volume from 2011, ³Digital Discourse: Language and
the New Media,² by Thurlow and Mroczek. And I found Elizabeth Keating¹s
(2005) ³Homo Prostheticus² in Discourse Studies 7(4-5) to be very useful on
a theoretical level.
