Abstract:
The development of information and communication technologies enables dynamic social interaction through computer-mediated communication. This book describes the growing proliferation of CMC applications and the need for new perspectives, methods and tools for research and practice. It explores the conceptual foundations of computer-mediated interaction, language action and discourse features in various CMC contexts. Uncovering the fundamental components of CMC and looking at interdisciplinary perspectives through a variety of research methods, the book is ideal for researchers, academics, and practitioners interested in information and communication technologies in respect to online social interactions and discourse.
