With regards to Internet Linguistics, Dr. Ashraf\u2019s students ventured into the virtual world Second Life and built a corpus of data through systematic participant observation. They went on to empirically observe this data and perform linguistic analysis based on what interesting features came up in the language of their corpus. Linguistics topics included speech acts, politeness, word-formation, acronyms and use of emojis to mention merely a few. The posters reflected their research and all had methodology and analysis sections. They were competent in their presentations and impressed visitors with their work who had mostly never heard of Second Life or virtual worlds for that matter.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-607 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"DSC01798\" data-caption=\"\" href='https:\/\/education.tiu.edu.iq\/elt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC01798-e1465717605379.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" data-src=\"https:\/\/education.tiu.edu.iq\/elt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/DSC01798-e1465717605379-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"Tishk International University | ELT education Department\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px;
