Meeting Description:

Electronic media have come to dominate our linguistic lives.  Social media
such as Facebook and Twitter are reshaping people's interactions. Texting
and instant messaging are transforming the very meaning of 'conversation,'
while Blogs and websites are gradually replacing newspapers and television
as the primary news outlets.

These new worlds of words occasion innovative uses of language and new
spaces for constructing identities, forming relationships, and expressing
social meanings. GURT 2011 will explore how these ever-changing
technologies affect ever-adapting discourse. The conference will bring
together leading researchers from around the world and from various
analytic perspectives, including anthropological linguistics, conversation
and discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, multimodality,
variation analysis, and visual analysis.

Explorations into the discourse of new media place this year's GURT at the
frontier of discourse as well as media studies.
