Preprints of three of my forthcoming papers on blogs

I have just uploaded three of my papers on stylistic and pragmatic aspects of blogging to my website, two specifically on corporate blogs (Thank You and Lies) and a more theoretical one on blogs in general (Diary or Megaphone?).

Because these articles have all been forthcoming for some time (maximum being almost 1.5 years), I have decided to stop waiting, get with the program and put up preprints, as I’ve been sending copies to colleagues for discussion for a while now anyway. Note that since these are preprints, details may still change and I strongly advise you to get in touch with me before you cite anything. Also, don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or questions.

Thanks Cornelius. So out of curiosity – when are you scheduled to finish your PhD? And are you planning to have it licensed under CC too?

Hey Adeline,

I finished my PhD at the end of January, so that is pretty much wrapped up already. My thesis needs a little editing and will then be published either electronically, in print, or both (I’d prefer the last option but will see). My goal is a CC license, but I’ll have to find a progressive publisher who is okay with a hybrid publication first.
