Ever-Evolving CMC Bibliography

Resources Relevant to the Study of Computer-Mediated Communication

Compiled by Lauren M. Squires

 

This is by no means exhaustive – and I should note that these are mostly sources I’ve found helpful to me OR that have been highly recommended by others; they definitely don’t represent anywhere near all of the CMC research out there.  If you know of particularly good people or articles or books or websites (including your own!) that should be listed on this page, please let me know.  If links are broken or outdated, please let me know.  I hope to maintain this as a comprehensive ongoing resource for myself and others studying CMC, so any contribution toward that goal is very much appreciated!  I will try to update regularly.

 

Also, this list skews a bit toward the linguistics side of things, since that’s my interest, and also includes sources on things like writing that are relevant to linguistic study of CMC but not really other kinds of study of CMC. I hope you find it useful regardless; it’s sort-of grouped by subject, though definitions are loose.
