Challenging the current norm of a \"device-neutral\" approach, it argues that the physical device (smartphone, computer) plays a complex role in language use, similar to other contextual factors. A three-part computational sociolinguistic study is used to investigate the variation of nineteen microlinguistic features (message length, capitalisation, acronyms, emoji, etc.) across device types, using two corpora of Twitter\/X and Discord messages. The work develops an innovative approach for investigating the influence of technology on written language, highlighting the value of affordances over technological determinism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46438657687703,"sku":"9783662716168","price":5492.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662716168.webp?v=1769108283","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/written-language-across-devices-how-device-affordances-influence-linguistic-variation-9783662716168","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
