From: utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ARPAVAX:bradr Newsgroups: net.general Title: Sociolinguistics of Computer Communication Article-I.D.: ucbarpa.1588 Posted: Sat Jun 12 13:58:25 1982 Received: Sun Jun 13 04:45:00 1982 My thanks to all who contributed in response to my USENET query on your experiences in using computer mediated communication for my sociolinguistics term project. The paper evolved into a general exposition on the various forms such communication can take, with a small amount of analysis on adaptive mechanisms people use to deal with these forms. The exposition is at a fairly elementary level to you people out in USENET land, though a portion on the use of TDD's by the Deaf community you might find interesting. A number of you asked for copies of the completed paper. Because the paper is long (approx 20 pages) and the topic slightly different than what you expected, I am not just mailing out to clutter up your tty screens. If you would still like a copy, just send me mail. Brad Rubenstein ...ucbvax!r:bradr (uucp) r.bradr@berkeley (arpanet)
