Winner of the AIA Book Prize for a research monograph in the field
of English Language and Linguistics (2016) Common patterns of
interactions are altered in the digital world and new patterns of
communication have emerged, challenging previous notions of what
communication actually is in the contemporary age. Online
configurations of interaction, such as video chats, blogging, and
social networking practices demand profound rethinking of the
categories of linguistic analysis, given the blurring of
traditional distinctions between oral and written discourse in
digital texts. This volume reconsiders underlying linguistic and
semiotic frameworks of analysis of spoken and written discourse in
the light of the new paradigms of online communication, in keeping
with a multimodal corpus linguistics theoretical framework. Typical
modes of online interaction encompass speech, writing, gesture,
movement, gaze, and social distance. This is nothing new, but here
Sindoni asserts that all these modes are integrated in
unprecedented ways, enacting new interactional patterns and new
systems of interpretation among web users. These "non verbal" modes
have been sidelined by mainstream linguistics, whereas accounting
for the complexity of new genres and making sense of their
educational impact is high on this volume' s agenda. Sindoni
analyzes other new phenomena, ranging from the intimate sphere
(i.e. video chats, personal blogs or journals on social networking
websites) to the public arena (i.e. global-scale transmission of
information and knowledge in public blogs or media-sharing
communities), shedding light on the rapidly changing global web
scenario.
