Computer‐Mediated Discourse 2.0

Categorical Characteristics Of Professional Computer Discourse

“…This definition is similar to the one represented by Herring and Androutsopoulos (2015). Goroshko Popovskaya 2016, Kozyreva (2017) and Zhirkov (2016) define computer discourse as "communication on the Internet", which of course can't appear without some computer device, but there are no restrictions on the case of the channel for communication in their treatment.…”

Conversation analysis, cyberpsychology and online interaction

“…CMDA draws on a variety of methods and concepts from a variety of different research areas, including CA (Androutsopoulos & Beißwenger, 2008). These types of studies have challenged some of the theories around reduced cues and shown how individuals have adapted their communicative practises to the potential constraints of the medium (Herring & Androutsopoulos, 2015). CMDA comprises a very broad range of methods, which can be both qualitative and quantitative, and can focus on many different research questions (Androutsopoulos & Beißwenger, 2008).…”

“…The commenter also uses capital letters to emphasise the direct recipient of their post, as well as potentially shifting the blame to Farage. The commenter indicates their stance fairly clearly, through a use of traditional discursive strategies which can be used in both spoken and written interaction, as well as stance markers such as “lol” which have arisen in the technological era (see also Evans, 2016; Herring & Androutsopoulos, 2015 ).…”
