Abstract

Punctuation has evolved through history, not only in the number of marks, but also with regard to their function in guiding the (re)presentation and the processing of the text. My aim in this article is to discuss the pragmatics of punctuation in the main computer -mediated modes of communication. My proposal is to consider that the new computer -mediated written interactions in the pole of communicative immediacy have given rise to a particular metarepresentative system of punctuation that competes with the traditional rhetorical and grammatical codes of the same.
