Approaches to Internet Pragmatics
Internet-mediated communication is pervasive nowadays, in an age in which many people shy away from physical settings and often rely, instead, on social media and messaging apps for their everyday communicative needs. Since pragmatics deals with communication in context and how more gets communicated than is said (or typed), applications of this linguistic perspective to internet communication, under the umbrella label of internet pragmatics, are not only welcome, but necessary. The volume covers straightforward applications of pragmatic phenomena to internet interactions, as happens with speech acts and contextualization, and internet-specific kinds of communication such as the one taking place on WhatsApp, WeChat and Twitter. This collection also addresses the role of emoticons and emoji in typed-text dialogues and the importance of “physical place” in internet interactions (exhibiting an interplay of online-offline environments), as is the case in the role of place in locative media and in broader place-related communication, as in migration.

Contributors to this volume come from different countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico and Romania, and consider comparatively their native cultures.

What are the strategies of discourses surrounding food and nutrition within new public spaces?
Wie Heranwachsende zu Internetnutzern werden
Martin Hermida zeigt in diesem Buch, dass die Herausbildung der Medienkompetenz vor allem von den Persönlichkeitseigenschaften des Heranwachsenden selber bestimmt wird und eine Umwelt mit vielen Nutzungsgelegenheiten und internetaffine Eltern eine chancenreiche Internetnutzung fördern. Risiken gehören nach Erkenntnis des Autors zur normalen Internetnutzung dazu, psychische Dispositionen und vermehrter Austausch mit Peers erhöhen aber den Kontakt mit Risiken, während die Eltern hier kaum Einfluss darauf haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht über bestehende Konzepte hinaus und formuliert erstmals ein Modell der Sozialisation zur Internetnutzung.
