How social media ‘likes’ create a conversation of connection
You might think linguistics professor Deborah Tannen would lament the effects of social media on how we communicate. Instead, she sees how it fills an essential need for connection, and the ways we've adapted the tools of "liking" and "tagging" to acknowledge the contributions that friends and family make to our lives. Tannen offers her humble opinion on the new language of social media.
