Since the World Wide Web was invented at the beginning of the 1990s, computers have become part of our everyday lives, and especially of our everyday communication. We write e-mails, post status messages on Facebook and participate in a chat-session with friends while we are scanning the news.
This course will look at various forms of computer-mediated communication mainly from a linguistic perspective. Students will discuss theoretical aspects of media-, socio- and text-linguistics and use the theoretical knowledge as analytical toolkit for their own research projects.
The reading for the course will be announced in the first session.
