International weblog project
Weblogs are easily to setup und and it's trivial to update. That are two of the reasons for a rising popularity for both professionels and private persons. An occupation with weblogs (or blogs) from a linguistic perspective seems to be worthwhile. A central request of the project "Linguistic and textual aspects in weblogs" in the year 2005 was to provide a culturalspreading study to textual and linguistic aspects of the very recent communication form of Blogging. Thus beside German also Chinese, English, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Spanish blogs were analyzed and published in the Internet. For its/her language each author wrote a English-language summary, a state-specific description of the blogosphere, a description of corpus as well as a a hypertextual and linguistic analysis. The study covers 330 pages and is free of charge available as Networx, No. 46. Download the study for free (Networx 46)
