<br>
<br>Hi!
<br>I'm sorry to tell you that I have nothing so far for the topic but the
<br>fact is that I'm in need too. I'm attempting to gather materials for my
<br>thesis (Interdisciplinary study of the Language of the Internet on the
<br>basis of the selected services) in which I would like to concentrate
<br>mainly on the structure of the language on IRC (morphology, syntax, and
<br>pragmatics perhaps). There are no materials available here where I live
<br>(Poland) for the topic is completely new (to tell you the truth, it
<br>seems nobody has ever done that !) so I'm hoping to get all the data and
<br>bibliography over the internet. I've invested my whole savings into it
<br>and I must tell you that here in Poland communication is very expensive
<br>(esp. for a part time working student like me).
<br>Anyway, should I find anyting on your topic I will let you know for I'll
<br>surely be browsing through the pages which are quite similar to that
<br>topic of yours.
<br>All the same, I'd like to ask you to post my call to anybody who might
<br>know anything about this and I will do the same.
<br>Any results will be posted at my home page which presently is under
<br>construction but do visit it some time later.
<br>You surely know the Jargon File, but I am putting the url here just in
<br>case  http://dante.creighton.edu/jargon/jargon.html . This is the HTML
<br>version but you can also get it in TXT.
<br>You could also take a look at
<br> http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2424/cyberlanguage.html . I don't know
<br>if it's relevant to you. There's also a nice list of conferences and
<br>seminars. Who knows one of those could be for you :)

<br>I think there's a wealth of information on your topic. I'm sure you'll
<br>find something if you do a simple search on the Yahoo or Altavista.
<br>Wishing you (and myself) good luck with the search
<br>PS: Should you like to know more mail me.
<br>tafn mike
