The question of orality/literacy/electronic discourse seems particularly vexed when you consider MUDs and MOOs. This is the example of electronic discourse that most intrigues me, where fingers tip and tap to take the place of voice.

So, of course, I'm teaching another course on the topic, taking a different tact this time, focusing on the use of language in MUDs, and taking up that trendy 90s question of subjectivity.

Language and computers. We can look outside the classroom or inside, see the range of effects electronic discourse has on the way we've come to live.
