Book Description
The present handbook provides an overview of the pragmatics of language and language use mediated by digital technologies. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is defined to include text-based interactive communication via the Internet, websites and other multimodal formats, and mobile communication. In addition to ‘core’ pragmatic and discourse-pragmatic phenomena the chapters cover pragmatically-focused research on types of CMC and pragmatic approaches to characteristic CMC phenomena.
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The present handbook provides a much-needed overview of the pragmatics of language and language use mediated by digital technologies. While the field of study is not yet large, a significant body of pragmatic literature, broadly defined, has accumulated over the past 20 years on computer-mediated communication (CMC), which is defined to include text-based interactive communication via the Internet, websites and other multimodal formats, and mobile communication. In addition to ‘core’ pragmatic and discourse-pragmatic phenomena as manifested in CMC, the chapters cover pragmatically-focused research on types of CMC and pragmatic approaches to characteristic CMC phenomena.
