Discourse 2.0: Language and New Media (Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics series) - Softcover
Synopsis
"Electronic media have come to dominate our linguistic lives. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are reshaping people's interactions. These new worlds of words occasion innovative uses of language and new spaces for constructing identities, forming relationships, and expressing social meanings." Discourse 2.0: Language and New Media is the next book in the GURT series and was culled from presentations given at the 2011 GURT conference here at GU. Each year, GURT tackles a different topic, chosen by the editor(s) of that particular year. The topic of this book is innovative and novel: Linguists evaluate the use of speech and communication in new media, such as Flickr and blog comments. The discussions are a little more flashy and and unusual, compared with the usual GURT, due to what is being addressed. (See, for example, the conversation-like essay of chapter 13 or the discussion on holiday cards in chapter 5.) The discussion is rich and varied, presenting a new subfield as it is emerging, while relating it to traditional linguistic discourse theories.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Our everyday lives are increasingly being lived through electronic media, which are changing our interactions and our communications in ways that we are only beginning to understand.

Topics explored include: how Web 2.0 can be conceptualized and theorized; the role of English on the worldwide web; how use of social media such as Facebook and texting shape communication with family and friends; electronic discourse and assessment in educational and other settings; multimodality and the "participatory spectacle" in Web 2.0; asynchronicity and turn-taking; ways that we engage with technology including reading on-screen and on paper; and how all of these processes interplay with meaning-making. Students, professionals, and individuals will discover that Discourse 2.0 offers a rich source of insight into these new forms of discourse that are pervasive in our lives.
