Reviews & Statements

"This book details the many issues of CMC and Human Language Technology, and guides the reader through the way language is used in various media of technology and the implications this has for learning to speak, read, and write languages."

– Adams B. Bodomo, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (AUTHOR)

"Adams Bodomo's Computer-Mediated Communication for Linguistic and Literacy is a timely volume that addresses the important question of how language and literacies are changing in the contemporary society. Rich in empirical data, theoretical insights, as well as practical applications for education, this book will certainly benefit graduate students and academic scholars in the field of linguistics, education, computer sciences, literacy studies, or the interaction of all these.

– Carmen Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong "

This is a well-written, clear and concise book by an expert in the field. This is clear from the structure of the book, the style of writing and the clarity of the argumentation. The book covers an important topic and provides useful insights as it builds upon case studies and empirical evidence to justify its claims. "
