nen86-6.nosc.mil (198.253.86.6)The future of the Internet isn't just commercial or technical. It's linguistic, too -- at least in the eyes of David Crystal, an eminent Welsh authority on language and the producer of many scholarly volumes, including the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. His new book on Internet communication was just released by Cambridge University Press.
The book, ``Language and the Internet,'' is an analysis of how discourse is evolving on the Internet in its sometimes rambunctious forms of e-mail, Web pages, chat rooms and virtual reality games.
