Abstract:

Digital Discourse offers a distinctly sociolinguistic perspective on the nature 
of language in digital technologies. It starts by simply bringing new media 
sociolinguistics up to date, addressing current technologies like instant 
messaging, textmessaging, blogging, photo-sharing, mobile phones, gaming, 
social network sites, and video sharing. Chapters cover a range of 
communicative contexts (journalism, gaming, tourism, leisure, performance, 
public debate), communicators (professional and lay, young people and 
adults, intimates and groups), and languages (Irish, Hebrew, Chinese, 
Finnish, Japanese, German, Greek, Arabic, and French). The volume is 
organized around topics of primary interest to sociolinguists, including genre, 
style and stance. With commentaries from the two most internationally 
recognized scholars of new media discourse (Naomi Baron and Susan 
Herring) and essays by well-established scholars and new voices in 
sociolinguistics, the volume will be more current, more diverse, and more 
thematically unified than any other collection on the topic.
