«Language and the Internet» is David Crystal's linguistics essay published by Cambridge University Press in hardcover (282 pages, in English).
David Crystal argues that the Internet does not impoverish language, as is often believed, but rather expands its variety and the possibilities for creativity. He analyzes the linguistic uses of digital genres such as email, chat and the web, and describes «netspeak» as a new medium with its own norms that evolves with use.
It was the first book by a language expert on the linguistic aspects of the Internet, published in 2001.
It is intended for anyone who uses the Internet and wants to reflect on how language changes, without needing to be a linguist.
David Crystal is a British linguist who studies the English language.
