Likewise, mediated communication and teaching through computers and mobile technologies, computational modeling of language processes and natural language processing have become ubiquitous and commonplace. Consequently, new modes of communication behavior have been facilitated by these technological breakthroughs. In the last decades, the overlap between disciplines like computer sciences, linguistics and other fields of enquiry interested in both language and ICT has become more evident through areas like textmining, natural language processing natural (NLP), virtual language teaching, etc...
