RT list: just published

Dear all,

I have just published:

CIBERPRAGMATICA 2.0. NUEVOS USOS DEL LENGUAJE EN INTERNET (2010)
[CYBERPRAGMATICS 2.0. NEW USES OF LANGUAGE ON THE INTERNET]
http://www.planetadelibros.com/ciberpragmatica-20-libro-46582.html

Cibepragmática 2.0 is an extension of an initial pragmatic analysis, from a
cognitive point of view, of all the types of Internet-mediated interactions. It
offers a complete extension of the analysis of the forms of interaction on the
Net that have become popular in the last few years.

Cibepragmática was published in 2001 as a proposal of pragmatic analysis, from a
cognitive point of view, of the different Internet-mediated interactions, and
complemented with other perspectives and models that shed light on this mass
medium. The evolution of the discourses and interactions that currently take
place on the Net has been so spectacular that it is necessary to provide a new
version of this proposal of analysis, this time as Ciberpragmática 2.0.

This book is, firstly, a bibliographic update of Ciberpragmática, since in the
last few years many studies have been published which, one way or another,
address the analysis of language on the Internet. The bibliography in
Ciberpragmática 2.0 is bigger and half of the references include the Internet
address where these references can be accessed and downloaded.

Secondly, this book is also a revision of some ideas proposed in Ciberpragmática
and that have changed in the last years. For example, the initial proposal of a
distinction between virtual community and offline community has been replaced
with a more realistic proposal of hybrid personal networks of physical-virtual
interactions.

Finally, Ciberpragmática 2.0 is an extension of the analysis in the former
edition to other discourses and forms of interaction on the Net that have
appeared and become popular in the last years: the processing of the web page as
a ubiquitous source of information on the Internet, the search for information
in search engines (such as Google), the transference of printed documents to the
Net (cyberpress, advertisements), blogs, social networking sites (such as
Facebook), the micro-messages of Twitter, instant messaging (Messenger),
avatar-mediated interactions in 3D spaces (as in Second Life) and videoconference.

Cordially,

Francisco Yus
