An introduction to the linguistic frameworks currently used to analyse language found in social media contexts
An outline of the practical steps and ethical guidelines entailed when gathering linguistic data from social media sites and platforms
A range of illustrative case studies, which cover different approaches, linguistic topics, digital platforms, and national contexts
