Computer-mediated communication (Herring 1996, 1999, 2007, 2015) or
human interaction using networked devices is one of the key-topics of
current linguistic and interdisciplinary approaches. Considering the
continuous development of textual and audiovisual technologies,
human-AI communication (Dynel 2023) or complex smartphone interactions
(Yus 2021), digital communication has grown into a complex area of
research that draws methods and applications from fields such as
functional linguistics, sociolinguistics and online ethnography,
digital anthropology, philosophy and ethics of the online environment,
new media and internet studies.

We invite submissions for 30 minutes presentations (including 10
minutes of
discussions) on topics including, but not limited to:
 • emergent lexical and semantic resources in different registers of
online communication;
 • the morphosyntax of cyberlanguage;
 • pragmatic strategies employed in interpersonal and group online
communication;
 • distinctive features of online discourse genres;
 • participation frameworks and conversational structures on various
digital platforms;
 • identity and self-presentation in online discussion spaces, from
social media to news distribution platforms and forums;
 • humour, irony, criticism, and protest in memes and other
user-generated content;
 • representations of vernacular languages, multilingualism, and
interculturality in the digital space;
 • linguistic and visual resources used to convey paraverbal and
nonverbal cues (conventional symbols, typeface, emoticons, emojis,
GIFs, etc.);
 • the discourse of online politics, medicine, education and
instruction, counselling, support, commerce, advertising, etc.

Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than 2 pages, including
examples and references (font size 12, spacing 1.5, page margins 2.5
cm).

Abstract should be sent to digital.language.bucharest at gmail.com.

Extended deadline: 25 September 2024
Notification of acceptance: 10 October 2024
