... the time is right to recognise and explore the scope of a putative "Internet linguistics." [Internet linguistics is defined] as the synchronic analysis of language in all areas of Internet activity, including email, the various kinds of chatroom and games interaction, instant messaging, and web pages, and including associated areas of computer-mediated communication (CMC), such as SMS [short message service] messaging (texting). 1, record 1, English, - Internet%20linguistics

En 2011, il [a publié un] ouvrage consacré à la linguistique d'Internet [...] 1, record 1, French, - linguistique%20d%27Internet

Cette notion est indispensable pour décrire les transferts d'eau mais aussi d'autres phénomènes. La circulation de l'eau se fait en effet à travers le végétal depuis le sol jusqu'à l'atmosphère. L'eau se vaporise dans les feuilles après avoir circulé à l'état liquide dans le sol et la plante. Si globalement, à l'échelle d'un nycthémère, on peut admettre que le volume d'eau transpiré par les parties aériennes est approximativement égal à celui absorbé par les racines, cette hypothèse n'est plus exacte à l'échelle instantanée. 1, record 3, French, - continuum%20sol%2Dplante%2Datmosph%C3%A8re
