Susan C. Herring
Susan C. Herring is professor of information science and linguistics at Indiana University Bloomington. Trained in linguistics at the University of California at Berkeley, she was one of the first scholars to apply linguistic methods of analysis to computer mediated communication, initially with a focus on gender issues. Subsequently, she consolidated those methods into an approach known as Computer-Mediated Discourse Analysis, which she has applied to analyze politeness, interactional coherence, and change over time in Internet communication. Her recent interests include multilingual and multimodal (especially, convergent media) communication. She has published extensively on CMC, including numerous scholarly articles and three edited volumes: Computer-Mediated Communication: Linguistic, Social and Cross-Cultural Perspectives (Benjamins, 1996), The Multilingual Internet: Language, Culture, and Communication Online (Oxford University Press, 2007, with B. Danet), and Computer-Mediated Conversation (Hampton, in press), and she edited the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication from 2004 to 2007.
