Language Use in Internet Mediated Communication
Are you a student of Japanese?
My name is Sarah Pasfield-Neofitou and I am conducting a research
project with Associate Professor Helen Marriott and Dr. Robyn
Spence-Brown of the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics
towards a PhD in Japanese Studies at Monash University. This means that
I will be writing a thesis which is the equivalent of approximately
100,000 words.
I am seeking to recruit students who are students of Japanese at Monash
University and native speakers of Japanese with whom they use Internet
communication as volunteers for the study in order to examine issues of
language use in intercultural Internet chat. If you are aged 18 years or
older and have one or more Japanese-speaking online contacts, you are
invited to participate in a research project entitled Language Use in
Internet Mediated Communication.
I would like to examine any online communication you are happy to
provide me with, and conduct two interviews about your online
experience, including your perceptions of language use online.
If you would like an explanatory statement or have any questions, please
contact me, the researcher, by email:
Sarah.PasfieldNeofitou@arts.monash.edu.au as soon as possible. I would
love to hear from you.
Thank you!
