| Abstract: | In order to join discussion forums, or chat rooms, the Internet user has to choose a pseudonym, whose origin may stem from various sources – the person’s private life, cultural objects, individual traits etc. However, the use of a pseudonym on the Web serves only one purpose, namely the purpose of naming an individual. Thus, in the course of follow-up communication based on the online publication of newspaper articles, or while discussing a given theme in a forum, the pseudonym chosen by a user can be laden with meaning – antagonism, emotion etc. The present paper examines this multidimensional status of pseudonyms on the Internet, using examples selected from online editions of newspapers and discussion forums. |
