[Air-L] PhD / Research programs - linguistics and social media

[Unger, Johann]

Dear Kushchu,

Language at Internet is an open access journal that regularly has good articles that take a sociolinguistic approach to Facebook data (though last year their output seems to have dipped a bit).

At Lancaster we have several staff researching in the area of language and digital media (David Barton, Julia Gillen, Karin Tusting, Mark Sebba, myself) and also a number of PhD students already looking at facebook and other social networks - and we have a new MA in Digital Literacies, which means there are also research training opportunities for PhD students working in this area. Further information is available here: http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/study/phd/

Best,
Johnny.

Dear Colleagues

A bright student, (a linguist by training and currently completing a Masters thesis about socio-linguistics approaches to the use of language on Facebook),  asked me for research and PhD programs for further studies -Not very much related to my expertise, unfortunately.

Any suggestions for such programs in the intersection of linguistics and social media?

Bests wishes
Kushchu
