Gender Encoding of Typographical Elements in Lithuanian and Croatian Irc
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much sociolinguistic research discusses differences between male and female language. In this paper we consider the language of Internet Relay Chat (IRC), studying if and how non-standard typography depends on the gender of the writer. We distinguish two kinds of non-standard typography that are typical of IRC users: technology-conditioned and voluntary. Our results show that use of non-standard writing variants depends on writer gender in both cases. Comparable results are found for Lithuanian and Croatian chat.
