内容説明・目次

内容説明

This book is a major documentation of the discursive practices of Africans when they engage in online communication. It presents mainly linguistic perspectives on what Africans do when they interact through mobile telecommunications and the Internet. The book reveals the unique ways Africans blend their traditional communicative culture with some of the well known online behaviours. In addition, it draws attention to how Africans have been attempting to use the modes of internet and mobile telecommunications to solve their socio-economic and political problems by engaging in active agitation for reforms in those directions.
