Abstract
The review starts by stating that modern communication technologies do, without doubt, influence several domains of human behaviour, including the domain of language. The reviewed title focus on peculiarities with one of these new ways of communication, namely, communication on two prominent social networks. The review gives an overview over structure in the book, and comments on its scope. The core of the books’ research is located in the second part of the monograph, where changes in ortography and some other features, such as use of emoticons, are observed in excerpts from Facebook and Twitter corpora, counting 18 000 tokens both. The review concludes that typology of ortographical differences, proposed by the book, is accurate and reflects the real situation.
