Synopsis

Due to the complex diversity and multi-disciplinary nature of computer-mediated communication, a reference source solely dedicated to the subject's direct influence on literacy and language becomes imperative among educators. Computer-Mediated Communication for Linguistics and Literacy: Technology and Natural Language Education fills a void within research due to its clear and direct focus on the interactions between human language and communication technologies. Containing extensive research and analysis, this authoritative collection examines the practical implications and applications of how computers can be used to process natural languages for the design of communication systems and devices.
