Social media have become a virtually indispensable element of everyday life, whether for private communication (such as on WhatsApp), sharing content and photos (such as on Facebook and Instagram), or commenting on world events (via Twitter). The volume examines how social media are changing our communication and language, and the novel forms of communication that have emerged from the use of social media.
