Computer-mediated communication

Human communication that occurs through the use of two or more electronic devices

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is human communication that occurs through the use of two or more electronic devices. Computer-mediated communication is relevant to linguistics as it shows how digital environments influence grammar and pragmatic meaning. While the term has traditionally referred to those communications that occur via computer-mediated formats (e.g., instant messaging, email, chat rooms, online forums, social network services), it has also been applied to other forms of text-based interaction such as text messaging.
