Book Description:
In recent years, the Internet has come to dominate our lives.
E-mail, instant messaging and chat are rapidly replacing conventional
forms of correspondence, and the Web has become the first port
of call for both information enquiry and leisure activity. How
is this affecting language? There is a widespread view that
as 'techno speak' comes to rule, standards will be lost. In
this book, David Crystal argues the reverse: that the Internet
has encouraged a dramatic expansion in the variety and creativity
of language. Covering a range of Internet genres, including
e-mail, chat, and the Web, this is a revealing account of how
the Internet is radically changing the way we use language.
This second edition has been thoroughly updated to account for
more recent phenomena, with a brand new chapter on blogging
and instant messaging. Engaging and accessible, it will continue
to fascinate anyone who has ever used the Internet.
