Internet linguistics

Internet linguistics is a new subdomain of linguistics suggested by Professor David Crystal. It studies new language styles and forms that have arisen under the influence of the Internet and other new communication media, such as SMS text messaging.

**"Weblish, netlingo, techspeak, wired style, geekspeak, and netspeak. These are all common terms which people have used to describe language in cyberspace. Although labels like these seem fairly amusing and harmless, they make potentially problematic assumptions about language generally, and about how language is changing on the internet. In particular, they assume that internet language is so different from other kinds of language that it warrants a new, special label"
