Abstract

David Crystal investigates the nature of the impact which the Internet is making on language. There is already a widespread popular mythology that the Internet is going to be bad for the future of language---that technospeak will rule, standards be lost, and creativity diminished as globalization imposes sameness. The argument of this book is the reverse: that the Internet is enabling a dramatic expanison to take place in the range and variety of language, and is proving unprecedented opportunities for personal creativity. At the same time, in order to grow and be maintained as a linguistic medium, the Internet must evolve its own principles and standards---which will be very different from those found in other mediums.
