[Air-l] orality and textuality

[Frank Thomas]

Hi,

I start to think about the fact that ICTs are well embedded in our 
cultures of text and voice communications. SMS, for instance, is a very 
interesting sort of written speech. To understand email communication we 
have first to better understand postal letter exchanges. I am no 
cultural anthropologist so I have no immediate knowledge of that area of 
research.

Would someone on the list be so kind to point me to a good start for 
reading, for books, articles, online texts, market research, I dont know 
what ...

Thank you

Frank
