Reihe: Handbooks of Pragmatics [HOPS]

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.

Zielgruppe

Students and scholars interested in computer-mediated language, linguistic pragmatics in general and computer-mediated communication.
