From this participant-centered perspective, it contributes to the longstanding theoretical debates in creole studies about the creole continuum. The book will likewise be useful to students of computer-mediated communication, the use and development of non-standardized languages, language ecology, and codeswitching. The central methodological issue in this study is codeswitching in written language, a neglected area of study at the moment since most literature in codeswitching research is based on spoken data. The three analytical chapters present the data in a critical discussion of established and more recent theoretical approaches to codeswitching. Fields that will benefit from this book include interactional sociolinguistics, creole studies, English as a world language, computer-mediated discourse analysis, and linguistic anthropology. 410 0$aPragmatics & Beyond New Series 606 $aCode switching (Linguistics) 606 $aCreole dialects, English$xSocial aspects$zJamaica 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$zJamaica 606 $aElectronic mail messages 615 0$aCode switching (Linguistics) 615 0$aCreole dialects, English$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 615 0$aElectronic mail messages. 676 $a306.44 700 $aHinrichs$b Lars$01149698 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954940103321 996 $aCodeswitching on the web$94345590 997 $aUNINA
