eBook Language and the Rise of the Algorithm 1st Edition by Jeffrey M. Binder

Description

Language and the Rise of the Algorithm (1st Edition) by Jeffrey M. Binder is a thought-provoking examination of how language shapes—and is reshaped by—algorithmic systems in the digital age. This eBook explores the intersection of linguistics, computation, and social power, analyzing how algorithms process language and influence communication, knowledge production, and decision-making.

Binder critically examines topics such as natural language processing, data-driven communication, automation, and the cultural and ethical implications of algorithmic language use. By bridging theory with contemporary technological developments, the book offers valuable insights into how language functions within algorithmic infrastructures that increasingly mediate social, political, and economic life.

Highly recommended for scholars and students in linguistics, digital humanities, media studies, communication, and critical technology studies, Language and the Rise of the Algorithm provides a rigorous and timely perspective on the evolving relationship between language, technology, and society.
