Abstract

"Pragmatics Online" by Kate Scott explores the adaptations and consequences of digitally mediated communication from a pragmatic perspective. The book examines various topics, including the differences between online and face-to-face communication, the use of hashtags and tagging techniques, the role of non-verbal cues in digital contexts, the communication of meaning through memes, and the use of clickbait headlines. The book also discusses research methods and ethical considerations in online pragmatics. While the book primarily focuses on English data, it suggests the need for more diverse languages and cultural contexts in future research. Overall, "Pragmatics Online" provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of communication in the digital age. [Extracted from the article]
