“…The study's analysis suggested trolling strategies were prominent in the corpus used to silence the author. With critical discourse analysis, the study states that this is proof of academics' opposition to feminist works (Parson, 2019).…”

“…Like most studies, the CDA study found that the existing approach is still dominantly teacherfacilitated approach, which is a progress from initial teacher-centred approaches. With a much more personal approach, Parson (2019) identified the linguistic tools used in people's responses toward the author's previous article on gendered discourse. The study's analysis suggested trolling strategies were prominent in the corpus used to silence the author.…”

“…Drawing particularly on Goffman's use of the term, discursive approaches often also invoke the notion of 'frame' when studying online forums, which, in this context means something like "An ideological construct made up of culturally shared ideas that people invoke to legitimise and make sense of the activity they are accomplishing" (Del-teso-craviotto 2006: 468). Some of the topics that have been commonly studied through discourse studies include harassment (Parson, 2018), particularly gender harassment (Rodríguez-Darias and Aguilera-Ávila, 2017), and the ways that publics engage with media discourse (Pinto-Coelho et al, 2017).…”

In this article we use Membership Categorisation Analysis to analyse conversations in an online forum in the British newspaper The Guardian. The comments thread followed an Op Ed piece that discussed the exclusion of 'under-performing' children in British secondary schools. Our analysis of these comments contributes to existing studies of online forums as a mode of public discourse and demonstrates the importance of research that focusses on interactional practices rather than on notions such as 'politeness' or 'framing'. We show the ways that participants used endogenous conversational categories to produce epistemic alignment and disalignment with each other, employing various strategies such as expanding category collections, creating relations between 'culpable' categories and 'trouble' categories, and re-describing categories through alternate category predicates. Through this, we see that the conversational actions undertaken in the forum are much more complicated than current concepts allow for, and we reflect on what such complexity might mean for the study and design of news forums.

“…Stance is categorized as affective, evaluative/judgement, or epistemic (Strauss & Feiz, 2013). Exploring the use of stance perspective on how language is used to create an emotional response from readers, assert the validity of claims, and to define truth and knowledge (Parson, 2018). Stance is conveyed through the use of modal verbs (e.g., "must," "should," "may," "can) to convey knowledge, obligation, and permission (Afros & Schryer;2009), words that convey ways of knowing, and words that create emphasis or emotion.…”

Aim/Purpose: Using discourse analysis, this study analyzed language used at universities undergoing budget cuts. Background: In times of economic hardship and declining public support, institutions can generate more revenue or reduce expenditures, referred to as retrenchment, to meet their resource needs. Yet, scholarship on organizational approaches to retrenchment is scarce. Methodology: Using critical discourse analysis, this study analyzed public communication from university leadership to employees about budget cuts. To understand how institutionalized structures were negotiated, reinforced, and constructed through language we looked for linguistic patterns in the use of pronouns, affective and epistemic stance, and nominalization in institutional emails. Contribution: As educational scholarship on institutional budget cutting behaviors remains almost nonexistent, this study extended understanding of budget cutting behaviors by exploring how university presidents frame budget cuts as a serious problem and persuade stakeholders that their solutions will resolve the budget crisis while minimizing personal harm. Findings: Analysis of corpus data suggested that the language used in SRI and URU’s budget emails was tailored to generate support for university leadership’s authority and plans to resolve the crisis. Recommendations for Practitioners: Through the lens of poststructuralist thought, findings suggest there is room for electronic communication about budget crises and resolution to be clearer about the organization of power and the location of financial decision-making. Recommendation for Researchers: The existing body of knowledge on the language used in retrenchment decision-making is small and triangulation with the literature confirmed findings on a larger scale, more research is needed. Impact on Society: If institutions are seeking transparency, they should use language that clearly communicates the nature of the problem, defines which individuals/groups are creating the plan to return to fiscal stability, and, when decisions are made, outlines the specific details of the plans that include who it will impact and how. Future Research: While much of the research has focused on the impact of retrenchment on institutional and student outcomes, these findings suggest that future research should also explore the impact of retrenchment decision-making on faculty and staff outcomes like morale, sense of belonging, and retention and recruitment.
