This book analyses from various perspectives topical and empirical issues related to language, media and technologies. To be more precise, the book studies the revitalisation of minority languages through the media, the pragmatics of condolence messages in online news fora, the use of corpora to analyse of grammatical items, punctuation in cyber texts, the conceptualisation of social ills such as corruption in online media, the gendered use of language in chat groups, issues on language and identity in online fora and digital practices such as internet memes. The volume comprises 10 papers whose data were collected from questionnaire, participant observation, written materials, online and audio-visual sources, just to name a few. The analyses done in the various papers are sociolinguistic, cognitive, graphological, morphological, lexical, discursive, semantic, pragmatic, etc.
