A large proportion of human interaction today takes place online –via social media, instant messaging, and other digitally-mediated platforms – bringing into focus the discursive construction of digital selves, communicative actions in virtual spaces, and evolving codes of interaction. Internet Pragmatics was launched to address the growing need for pragmatic perspectives on technologically mediated interaction. In the age of artificial intelligence and large language models, new forms of human–machine and machine-mediated communication have emerged, reshaping how meaning is produced, negotiated and understood in cyberspace.
The journal provides a fully peer-reviewed forum for cutting-edge research exploring how people – and intelligent systems – use online platforms to meet communicative, social and professional needs, and how these virtual interactions carry pragmatic implications for identity, relationships and collective formation. It also investigates the connections and contrasts between online and offline interaction, the intertwined nature of digital and physical identity, and the influence of algorithmic and automated mediation on language use across contexts.
Internet Pragmatics especially welcomes qualitative studies offering original thought and insight—research that advances understanding through rich context, nuanced interpretation and genuine theoretical contribution. The journal encourages interdisciplinary work bridging pragmatics with sociology, media studies, digital communication, discourse analysis, cognitive science, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, contributing to deeper insight into language use and interaction in an age of intelligent technology. The journal does not accept unsolicited reviews.
