The importance of computer-mediated communication for contemporary culture cannot be overestimated. We - digital nomads - exchange information, build relationship and create communities by means of electronic discourse, which seems to have an important, even critical role to play for the rise and development of network society. Electronic discourse, originally textual, typed with a keyboard and read on a computer screen, has undergone changes and finally has became fully multimodal. At a heart of computer-mediated discourse analysis is its relationship to spoken and written language. The term 'hybridity' often appears in interpretations of electronic discourse. Several linguists or sociolinguist adopted the oral-written hybrid metaphor or emerging language centaur figure (part speech, part writing) to explain its nature. This article claims, however, that such an approach should be extended. The focus on language alone has meant neglected. Hypermedia confronts us with hypetexts which are not solely text but polisemic objects. Hypertextual, multimodal electronic discourse needs a theory which deals with integration of different modes of communication, languages, systems of representation that is characteristic for contemporary communication landscape. One of such theory - rhetoric of the design has been proposed by Gunther Kress from New London Group. The second intention of this article is to pay attention to those aspects of hybrid. Milan processes that are connected with digital, virtual aspects of electronic environment.

The adaptation of information technology to everyday clinical practices coincided with the emergence of online databases, personal medical history and institutional information websites. One of the central issues in online medicine is source credibility. This paper overviews the types and communication of online medical information that have changed the logistics of doctor-patient communication. Inter-doctor communication also benefits from the possibilities for professional communication, and application of multiprofessional knowledge; it helps shape and unify professional terms and nomenclature, guarantees the confidentiality and security of data, while providing easy management of high-quality data; makes provisions for knowledge management and ambulatory e-services. The paper overviews the information portal Kliinik.ee (www.kliinik.ee, OU Tervisenouanne) which shares medical information made available by medical professionals for non-medics, mostly for patients. The portal offers a range of e-medicine services, such as responses by specialists, psychologists, pharmacists. The Communication groups offer the patients free medical advice, feedback, a second opinion to their treatment scheme, as well as an opportunity to share knowledge and their personal experiences, and receive emotional support. Writing therapy is becoming increasingly popular and has spontaneously moved online. Today, there are discussion forums available for people suffering from diabetes, cancer and other serious (or incurable) medical problems. The Internet is in many respects advantageous for this type of therapy: it provides an opportunity to establish a dialogue with others with a similar condition while protecting one's privacy and anonymity. Medical professionals post comments under their own names which gives them credibility. A medical discussion board comprises a conditional group that does not form a network or community but engages in a dialogue to obtain and provide expert opinion. Users of patients' discussion group and their narratives have a close connection to reality. The Internet offers the users new ways to share their practices and experiences and sometimes supports or even provides alternatives not available in offline reality. Such groups are based on information sharing and narratives and play an important role in maintaining emotional stability.

The paper aims to provide a theoretical framework for the sociological study of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). Instead of investigating 'Internet use' in terms of the self-fulfilling prophecy of the information-society or the applied discourse of knowledge management, this approach is focused on the real communities that communicate in virtual space. Following Barry Wellman's approach, the paper conceptualizes on-line communication as being integral to the interaction of real social groups, rather than being distinct, virtual universe. The first section aims to provide an overview of the changing concept of community itself; the second section describes the technical specifics that make the Internet an ideal community communication/media platform as well as the forms and distinctive characteristics of on-line communication; the last section traces the effects of CMC on the 'real' life of traditional local communities.

In the communicative genres used on the web, the nature of written communication changes: this is where efforts at a multimedia quality that characterise texts in general are at their best. Written communication plays a decreasing role here: what are mainly produced are complex items of writing-image-sound communication; in addition, hypermedia tools make it possible to link such complex items to each other. As opposed to traditional written texts, the recorded written form of computer-mediated communication is less characterised by a high level of being regular, normative, and well-constructed. It is best observable in high-interactivity chat forums and electronic mail texts that the lack of prosodic and paralinguistic tools is made up for by piled-up letters, piled-up punctuation marks, as well as the use of peculiar symbols or characters. Computer-mediated dialogues offer the possibility of immediate response: this is a characteristic feature of direct human communication - except that it goes on in writing in this case. The structure of dialogues carried on via chat forums does not correspond to any known communicative genre: they are less organised than even spontaneous spoken dialogues are and they are rather elliptical in their content: often, all components of macroplanning are totally lacking. Disorganisation is compensated for by the written (static) nature of the texts that makes the course of the dialogue somewhat easier to follow. In sum, certain types of internet texts can be referred to as 'written spoken language'.
