“This volume collects 10 diverse studies analysing language, identity and community on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and TripAdvisor. … the book is a significant contribution to the field of social media and identity construction for students and fellow researchers alike.” (Andrew Brindle, Discourse & Society, Vol. 28 (2), 2017)
“This volume opens a window for doing more research into language use on social media sites. … an insightful and exciting read for scholars in computer-mediated communication, discourse analysis and social media studies. The volume also offers insights for Chinese scholars who may seek to explore how the affordances of Chinese social media sites … shape Chinese people’s semiotic style choice. Readers may use this volume as a platform for further study of cross-cultural online communicative practices … .” (Wenge Chen, Pragmatics and Society, Vol. 7 (2), 2016)
