Understanding the discourse of text messaging has
profound implications for society. SMS text messaging has impacted considerably

Drawing on a range of academic sources from various
fields, this book describes the language used in a corpus of over 11,000 text
messages, as yet the largest collection in the UK. In particular, the book shows
how the discourse of text messaging is shaped by users' often creative
responses to the functions and constraints of the medium.
