Bibliography on the language of blogs

This is the Reference list from Blog and Wiki Discourse (Continuum, forthcoming in August).  I've cut all the references to linguistic and media studies texts that don't refer to blogs or wikis.  This includes only studies to which I refer in the text, so it is not a complete bibliography of the field, but it may give some readers ideas of new places to look.  Daniel Holbrook has a much more comprehensive but now dated list from his thesis (and it is an interesting example of how a web-based bibliography can work).
