Regards, Agnieszka Knas Queen Mary, University of London ----------- Greetings all! Are any of you aware of key research/resources related to the impact of texting and micro-blogging upon writing style and the formation of young writers? I am working with a student who wants to do a senior seminar in that area, and I'd like to get up to speed with the literature myself.
