I was told by a tech writer friend that y'all might be able to give me some
pointers...I am looking for information about how the Net (in general)
has/is changing written English lexically, semantically, and syntatically.
This is for a research paper about dialects of English. Info about lexical
differences is not hard to find but I have yet to stumble on any info about
syntax differences *which are directly related to use of the Net*.

On-line or off-line sources or pointers to other people who
might have seen/done research on this subject are all welcome.

I have to say, reading this list has been kind of fun. Mostly I've been on
private, social mailing lists, and this is not too different. But very high
volume.

thanks,
Beth Goodman
