This book is an extremely interesting and insightful contribution to the study of human communication on the Web. The research is exemplary and the results rewarding. It includes a comprehensive review of existing literature and useful suggestions for further research. Boasting an extensive bibliography, this work will clearly be an extremely valuable resource for those interested in computer-mediated discourse analysis, language on the Internet, and pragmatics in general. I recommend this book highly to all serious scholars as a fine example of pragmatic research.

This is an impressive volume. The papers will be very beneficial to scholars doing either discourse analysis or pragmatics.
