[Air-L] Understanding Social Media

[Barton, David]

Hello Kayla, you might find my recent book with Carmen Lee useful: D. Barton & C. Lee Language online, Routledge 2013. It revolves around social media. It's about how people use the internet in their everyday lives, and includes identity formation, using multimodal resources, online/offline, affordances, and much more... http://bit.ly/Z0eosi 

I am also working on a book on methodology for Routledge with Ruth Page, Johnny Unger and Michelle Zappavigna, Researching language in social media. It should be out early/mid 2014.
Thanks, David
