E-message

In this chapter, I have used data taken from my own e-messages, supplemented by examples taken from messages sent to a younger generation, kindly supplied by my 23-year-old son and 26-year-old daughter. The desirability of a corpus of e-mail data is stressed by Johansson, and also Yates.

Online activities include getting and sending e-messages and photos, using Facebook, sharing artwork or music, building Web sites, or Internet gaming.

Through your computer you can send messages or files. Obviously, it also works the other way round when you are the receiver of an e-message.
