Discourse 2.0
Language and New Media
Deborah Tannen and Anna Marie Trester, Editors
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. In Discourse 2.0: Language and New Media, editors Deborah Tannen and Anna Marie Trester team up with top scholars in the field to shed light on the ways language is being used in, and shaped by, these new media contexts. Deborah Tannen is university professor and professor of linguistics at Georgetown University and author of many books on discourse analysis.
