Exploring Digital Communication - Caroline (Open University Tagg - Bog

This textbook covers real world issues pertaining to digital communication, and explores how linguistic research addresses these challenges. Using the 'back-to-front' structure of the Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics series, the book is divided into three sections (Problems and Practices; Interventions; and Theory). The book also seeks to demystify any perceived divide between online and offline communication. Topics covered include text messaging, multiliteracies, and online writing communities. Additional features include tasks, along with a task commentary, a glossary and annotated further reading suggestions.
