Subject:Computers and effect on English language From:Cheryle W <cjwiese -at- HOTMAIL -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 30 Apr 1999 13:07:36 PDT
Hi,
As part of the grammar component of my Technical Writing program, I have to
do a research paper on some aspect of the history of the English language.
I've already decided that I want to take a look at the words that have crept
into the language as a result of computer
technology such as bug, reboot, etc.
I've done some preliminary searching on this topic, but thought I would see
if anyone has a specific book or web site to recommend. I am open to any and
all suggestions, and am most grateful for your recommendations. Since this
is only marginally on topic, please respond to me at cjwiese -at- hotmail -dot- com -dot-
Thanks,
Cheryle
