| Research Abstract |
This study investigates the Japanese language on the Internet and quantitatively identifies the features of multiple genres of online Japanese in comparison with spoken and written Japanese. It further explores interactional behaviours of Japanese speakers online, qualitatively focusing on politeness, impoliteness, and humour triggered by misconversions, and mobile phone novels from linguistic anthropological perspectives. This research hence contributes to expanding the field of sociolinguistics to the digital arena both nationally and internationally.
