| SUMMARY: |
The goal of this volume is to provide students in and of linguistics in
general, but particularly those enrolling in the Internet Linguistics course we
have designed for an MA programme at the Faculty of Letters of Babeș-
Bolyai University of Cluj, with an argument for the application of the
Cultural Sociolinguistic approach to this domain of linguistics. Our end
objective has dictated a simple and straightforward structure for what we
have also designed as a vehicle for publicising a selection of productions by
student graduates in the course and a set of invited contributions by
academics with core or subsidiary interests in the field. The volume,
therefore, comprises two sections, with the one, an introductory theoretical
study by the editors, the other, a compilation of invited papers and graduate
productions. This, we feel, is a transparent narrow-targeting of the current
and potential students in the course abovementioned, as well as of the
community of scholars of Internet Linguistics across the meridians of
academia. |
