The online genres of blogs and wikis like Wikipedia can help focus on some taken-for-granted aspects of language in social interaction becoming important in political, social and economic spheres--aspects often eclipsed by a fixation on the technology. Myers (rhetoric and communication, Lancaster U., UK) analyzes the dimensions of these distinctive types of text, devices used to address an intended audience and convey stances, and debates, e.g., over whether Wikipedia should have a 'Neutral Point of View' (NPOV). The book includes examples, notes on student projects, blog addresses, and a glossary. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Blogs and Wikis have not been with us for long, but have made a huge impact on society. Wikipedia is the best known exemplar of the wiki, a collaborative site that leads to a single text claimed by no-one; blogs, or web-logs, have exploded into the mainstream through novelisations, film adaptations and have gathered huge followings. Blogs and wikis also serve to provide a coherent basis for a discourse analysis of specific web language.

What makes these forms distinctive as genres, and what ramifications does the technology have on the language? Myers looks at how blogs and wikis:
*allow for easier than ever publication
*can claim to challenge institutional hierarchies
*provide alternate perspectives on events
*exemplify globalization
*challenge demarcations between the personal and the public
*construct new communities and more

Drawing on a wide range of popular blogs and wikis, the book works alongside an author blog that contains regularly updated links, references and a glossary. An essential textbook for upper level undergraduates on linguistics and language studies courses, it elucidates, informs and offers insights into a major new type of discourse. This coursebook will include a companion website.
