My AS group may have seen this yesterday in the extension work (alhtough you probably didn't have time). It is an investigation from 1997 into what were at that time 'emergent' (new/emerging) web genres. It is useful for both AS and A2 to look at some beautifully clear and straightforward investigation language (and use of conventions like sub-headings) and especially useful for AS, looking at Language and Technology, to see where some of the genres you are familiar with have grown out of the transition from paper to virtual documents. (That would actually be useful for A2 for Language Change too).
Don't try and read it all - get a feel for what it is exploring and dip into sections, looking analytically at the language used and how the exploration is constructed (focus on lexis and discourse). A2 will notice there is no PEE as it is not a Language investigation, so expect to include that in yours, but the 'feel' and structuring are right for the A2 coursework investigation.
Please comment when you have at least dipped into it so I know you have seen it and ask any questions or make any comments that are relevant.
