Discourse of Text Messaging: Analysis of SMS Communication de Dr Caroline Tagg

Discourse of Text Messaging: Analysis of SMS Communication: Continuum Discourse

Autor Dr Caroline Tagg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2012
Understanding the discourse of text messaging has
profound implications for society. SMS text messaging has impacted considerably
on how we communicate with others. Negative, sometimes alarmist media coverage
continues to fuel debate surrounding its 'damaging' effects on language and literacy,
yet these portrayals tend to be based on extreme or fictionalised accounts of
text messaging. What kind of language do people really use when they text?
Drawing on a range of academic sources from various
fields, this book describes the language used in a corpus of over 11,000 text
messages, as yet the largest collection in the UK. In particular, the book shows
how the discourse of text messaging is shaped by users' often creative
responses to the functions and constraints of the medium.
This is an essential book for upper level
undergraduates and postgraduates studying discourse analysis, as well as
educators wanting to understand this important new form of discourse.

Recenzii

'The Discourse of Text Messaging is a pleasure to read. A detailed analysis of a corpus of text messages reveals how people deploy all the resources of language - from spellings and punctuation through to grammar and discourse markers - to create meanings, to construct identities and to generally 'get things done'. The wide-ranging analyses are clearly explained and engagingly written about throughout.'
'Through a meticulous investigation of a rich corpus of authentic text messages, Tagg's The Discourse of Text Messaging is by far the most comprehensive book-length study of mobile phone texting from a linguistics perspective. A must-read for anyone interested in digital discourse and communication in the mobile world.'
