In Language Online David Barton and Carmen Lee investigate the impact of the online world on the study of language.
The effects of language use in the digital world can be seen in every aspect of language study, and as such new ways of researching the field are needed. In this book the authors look at language online from a variety of perspectives, providing a solid theoretical grounding, along with key concepts, but also incorporate essential practical elements.
Chapters cover topical issues including multilingualism, identity, education and multimodality, and conclude by looking at how to carry out research into online language use. Throughout the book many examples are given, from a variety of digital platforms, and a number of different languages, including Chinese and English.
Written in a clear and accessible style, this is a vital read, for both experienced researchers looking to work in the field, and those new to studying it. Language Online is an essential textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates working in the areas of new media, literacy and multimodality within the area of applied linguistics.

Industry Reviews

"Language Online introduces the reader to key concepts and themes in the study of digital language and discourse: multilingualism and linguistic diversity, self-presentation and stance-taking, language ideologies and learning. The authors offer clear definitions, a rich set of examples, valuable suggestions on research methodology and innovative insights into their own interpretations. Language Online achieves a remarkably good balance between cutting-edge research and reader-friendliness."

- Jannis Androutsopoulos, University of Hamburg, Germany

"Using a methodology grounded in both linguistics and digital literacies, Barton and Lee provide a valuable introduction to studying language online. They also carefully define terms and concepts that are used in both of these fields and are central to the study of language online--text and practices, among others...This volume will interest those who want to understand how language is changing as a result of new technologies and those pursuing their own research into language use online."
