Learners’ identifies at stake: Digital identity texts in the ELF classroom
2018
Author/s María Dolores García-Pastor GIEL – Universitat de València, Spain ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the study of identity in digital identity texts produced by English as a foreign language (EFL) learners within a specific subject of the Teacher in Primary Education (English) degree at a Spanish university. To this end, 51 digital identity texts were analysed following a “positioning perspective”, which views identity in terms of “reflexive” and “interactive” positions (Davies & Harré 1990). Results show that learners constructed non-unitary identities whose subject positions were often contradictory. They also associated certain positions with silencing identities, transition ident…
El revival del sufijo -érrimo
2022
Este trabajo de investigación analiza el comportamiento actual del sufijo culto -érrimo, dado que hemos percibido una vitalidad que no encaja con la descripción como obsoleto que se realiza en las gramáticas y tratados de morfología. En consecuencia, para poder describir sus características, hemos seleccionado los types atestiguados en el corpus CdE:Now, que está compuesto de textos digitales provenientes de webs y magacines. Este nuevo comportamiento vincula su nueva vigencia a un discurso muy oralizado propio de blogs, redes sociales, columnas de opinión, interacciones con noticias, etc., con un registro coloquial. Los resultados constatados son que -érrimo presenta un perfil de sufijo ac…
Teaching medical students online consultation: reframing the doctor-patient exchange
2017
After qualifying, doctors are expected to refine and develop professional knowledge and competences with a greater emphasis on the communication and consultation skills needed to create and maintain a good doctor-patient relationship. The ‘doctorability’, which is the act of legitimating the patient’s decision to seek medical care during the doctor-patient exchange, has been first studied by Heritage and Maynard (2006). However, the concept has been adapted to the new frames offered by the digital context and, as such, Stommel (2010) talks about the ‘forumability’, which refers to the users’ negotiations and legitimization within the group contributing to health fora. Using Digital Discours…
La méthode de la complexité pour comprendre la plurisémiocité des discours numériques : de l’efficacité de TikTok
2023
Based on a corpus of videos collected on the Tik Tok platform, our study aims to analyse the plurisemicity and memetic functioning of these productions. We seek to show the effectiveness of these native productions of Tik Tok through a strategic and integrated use of different semis. This is why we are working on the analysis of digital discourses and post-dualist epistemological work in this field of language sciences. Through our analytical work, we wish to contribute to the questioning of written/oral, man/machine and text/image oppositions.
Coding emotions in computer-mediated communication: the example of YouTube comments
2018
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is essentially text-based. This is generally said to result in a “paucity of paralinguistic and non-linguistic cues” (Bieswanger, 2013: 468), but it is also considered to be the main reason for the development of other characteristic non-verbal modalities, such as emoticons and emoji. How are, then, emotions expressed in such a specific context? Are verbal modalities as limited as they are said to be? Do non-verbal modalities complete or replace them? This paper will try to answer those questions using discourse analysis tools applied to a sample of comments on a YouTube video.
Geographic imagination and urban-rural binary in online discourses related to the capital region of Finland : A corpus onomastic study of Helsinki, V…
2023
The article focuses on digital discourses related to Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa, the three biggest municipalities in Finland’s capital region. The data consist of texts from the discussion forum of Suomi24 that was analysed to find out how forum users produce socio-spatial distinctions by categorizing some groups as ‘others’ thus differentiating in-groups and out-groups. The analysis used methods of comprised corpus assisted discourse studies (CADS), including collocation analysis. The results show that discourses related both to native and non-native Helsinkians and to those living in the capital region in contrast to those living elsewhere in Finland are common and the juxtapositions betw…
Which status for sensoric based discourses on digital social networks? Methodological reflections based on a corpus of wine descriptions in French an…
2019
International audience; [Context] The rise of digital humanities, embracing the expansion of digital speech production of western societies, imposes to reconsider the status of textual data – especially for specialized discourses (Lerat 1995, Petit 2010), for which written discourse has always been the most analyzed form of language use. Siever (2015: 85-86) has already raised the issue of the very nature of digital discourses in terms of medium, such as defined alongside the traditional oral-written-continuum (Koch & Oesterreicher 1994: 528). This led to a necessary theoretical and methodological shift giving priority to the conceptual level as embodied in the distance-proximity paradigm (…
Digitaalinen diskurssi työelämän kontekstissa – menetelmällisiä haasteita ja ratkaisuehdotuksia
2020
Digital technologies have become an inseparable part of most workplace activities. In this article, we discuss the study of digital work in the context of complex organizational practices. We lay out some methodological challenges and suggest some possible solutions to them. Firstly, we contend that we should take into consideration the multimedial nature of organizational practices. Secondly, several kinds of data – such as video-recordings of face-to-face encounters, screenshots from digital platforms, ethnographic observation and interviews – may be needed to gain an understanding of such practices. Thirdly, the analyst needs to pay attention to the affordances of the media that the part…
