Because Internet (twarda)

Opis produktu:

Because Internet is for anyone who`s ever puzzled over how to punctuate a text message or wondered where memes come from. It`s the perfect book for understanding how the internet is changing the English language, why that`s a good thing, and what our online interactions reveal about who we are.

Language is humanity`s most spectacular open-source project, and the internet is making our language change faster and in more interesting ways than ever before. Internet conversations are structured by the shape of our apps and platforms, from the grammar of status updates to the protocols of comments and @replies. Linguistically inventive online communities spread new slang and jargon with dizzying speed. What`s more, social media is a vast laboratory of unedited, unfiltered words where we can watch language evolve in real time.
