Conference theme
We invite you to submit abstracts for papers which explore the representation, construction and/or production of language through the technologies and ideologies of new media - the digital discourse of blogs, wikis, texting, 
instant messaging, internet art, video games, virtual worlds, websites, emails, 
podcasting, hypertext fiction, graphical user interfaces, and so on. Of equal 
interest are the ways that new media language is metalinguistically 
represented, constructed and/or produced in print and broadcast media such as 
newspapers and television.
