    Abstract

    With the emergence of the internet and especially since the development of
    web 2.0, people increasingly communicate in an online environment. Be that
    as it may, this research domain has remained underexposed in Tijdschrift voor
    Taalbeheersing. The current special issue therefore addresses the importance
    of linguistic- and discourse-oriented research to explore the role of language
    in digital communication. On the one hand, the research papers in this issue
    investigate the influence of digital communication on communication styles.
    On the other hand, online genres are studied with large-scale corpora and
    (automatic) methods of analysis. We also highlight other research opportunities,
    such as whether digital communication changes the language use and
    proficiency of, for example, children and young people.
