Communicating across Cultures in Cyberspace

This bibliographic review is a first attempt at collecting together a body of literature relevant to the study of intercultural communication in cyberspace. It explores and summarizes themes and arguments in current literature relating to `the culture(s) of the Internet', `the language of cyberspace', `intercultural communication on the Internet', `identity and community in cyberspace', `culture and education in cyberspace' and `the impact of the Internet on culture(s)'. The survey offers

an overview of current research and theoretical contributions identified in each area

an extensive annotated bibliography that includes abstracts or summaries of each contribution

It also identifies the most pressing issues in the field as well as gaps in current knowledge and understanding.
