Title By the Way, do Dictionaries Deal with Online Communication? On the Use of Meta-Communicative Connectors in CMC Communication and their Representation in Lexicographic Resources for German
Abstract Nowadays, people write more than ever and online writing (CMC) is a driving force in this development. A large part of everyday writing is embedded in written dialogues. This leads to a series of specific writing conventions having developed in recent years. CMC communication becomes also relevant in literacy teaching and its didactics, in particular at school. Two relevant questions arise: How can teachers evaluate the quality of digital communication? Which language resources can teachers but also students rely on in case of doubts? One of the main functions of lexicography is to record actual language use. In its evolution, lexicography is increasingly considering oral language next to written language use. In our paper, we investigate the question whether and how interaction-oriented online writing is represented in dictionaries for German. Our analysis focuses on two meta-communicative connectors.
