This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the pragmatics
of social media, i.e. of digitally mediated and Internet-based
platforms which are interactively used to share and edit self- and
other-generated textual and audio-visual messages. Its five parts
offer state-of-the-art reviews and critical evaluations in the
light of on-going developments: Part I The Nature of Social Media
sets up the conceptual groundwork as it explores key concept such
as social media, participation, privacy/publicness. Part II Social
Media Platforms focuses on the pragmatics of single platforms such
as YouTube, Facebook. Part III Social Media and Discourse covers
the micro-and macro-level organization of social media discourse,
while Part IV Social Media and Identity reveals the multifarious
ways in which users collectively (re-)construct aspects of their
identities. Part V Social Media and Functions/Speech Acts surveys
pragmatic studies on speech act functions such as disagreeing,
complimenting, requesting. Each contribution provides a
state-of-the-art review together with a critical evaluation of the
existing research.
