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.
