Definition[edit] Coined by Anne Maass and her colleagues, linguistic intergroup bias is a model of stereotype maintenance (Whitley & Kite, 2010). This model states that positive ingroup descriptions and negative outgroup descriptions are abstract and vague, while negative ingroup descriptions and positive outgroup descriptions are specific and observable. Abstract statements are vague and harder to prove wrong, while, concrete statements are specific, and easy to brush off as exceptions to the rule, therefore keeping stereotypes intact (Whitley & Kite, 2010). Linguistic intergroup bias is more likely to occur when outgroup members are performing a group stereotype consistent action.
Research[edit] B. Interestingly, there were significant differences in responses of participants who saw the white man portrayed as the suspect rather than the black man: Participants said the white suspect “probably hurt the victims”.

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology - The effects of linguistic abstraction on evaluations of the speaker in an intergroup context: Using the Linguistic Intergroup Bias makes you a good group member. Abstract The purpose of the present research was to show that use of the Linguistic Intergroup Bias (LIB; Maass, Salvi, Arcuri, & Semin, 1989) is a normative behavior in intergroup contexts, in that it is a cue used to attribute social value to speakers.
Computer-mediated literacy practices through communities of practice. Beyond Current Horizons : Community and CMC: the virtual absence of online communal being-ness. Send to a friend Download PDF Print friendly Abstract This paper proposes to examine the close relationship between the social sciences and offline interests (government, business, media, and all general non-CMC communities) as a key to investigating how the internet came to be what it is today.
It argues that potential online educational benefits, as well as more general benefits from projects of social cohesion and community building, are being limited by the manner in which the internet is conceived and constructed; that for projects and benefits to be realised and to be potentially available to governments the net needs to be conceived in a different manner. This paper seeks to understand why the discursive formation of ‘community of interest’ has come to dominate and shape the contemporary internet. Finally, it suggest ways in which a differently conceived CMC might encourage the internet’s rebirth as a genuine social and public space. Full article Definitions: Research. Redirect Notice. How the internet is changing language. 16 August 2010Last updated at 10:01 By Zoe Kleinman Technology reporter, BBC News 'To Google' has become a universally understood verb and many countries are developing their own internet slang.
But is the web changing language and is everyone up to speed? The web is a hub of neologisms In April 2010 the informal online banter of the internet-savvy collided with the traditional and austere language of the court room. Christopher Poole, founder of anarchic image message board 4Chan, had been called to testify during the trial of the man accused of hacking into US politician Sarah Palin's e-mail account. During the questioning he was asked to define a catalogue of internet slang that would be familiar to many online, but which was seemingly lost on the lawyers. At one point during the exchange, Mr Poole was asked to define "rickrolling". "Rickroll is a meme or internet kind of trend that started on 4chan where users - it's basically a bait and switch. "Yes.

" NetLingo The Internet Dictionary. Don't be 404, know the tech slang. A study of new slang terms entering English finds that technology is driving and perpetuating them.
For instance, "404" - the error message given when a browser cannot find a webpage - has come to mean "clueless". Slang lexicographer Jonathon Green says that some such terms and abbreviations come about because of the limited speed and space afforded by text messaging. However, an Australian study found that reading "textese" takes more time and results in more mistakes. A study conducted by the telecommunications arm of the Post Office has searched out the terms that are not yet in wide use but may be soon. "What we're seeing is the influence of technology coupled with current events and, inevitably of the young, who in many cases drive language," says Mr Green. "It's focused on this world of mobile phones - these abbreviations are perfectly suited to those little screens.
