“…For instance, it would be interesting to compare 88milSMS/sms4science/CoMeRe, Panckhurst et al, 2016b;Fairon et al, 2006;Cougnon, 2015;Cougnon and Fairon, 2014;Chanier et al, 2014) with the French sub-corpus of WhatsApp messages from What's up Switzerland? (Ueberwasser and Stark, 2017;Ueberwasser, 2017) 28 , or with the FaceBook, Viber, WhatsApp messages from vos pouces (Cougnon et al, 2017), or even with daily writing during WW1 in Corpus14 (Praxiling -UMR 5267, 2019), in order to see how communication has evolved over time and medium.…”

“…§ 1) thus making the overall philosophy of the corpus attuned to that of these other datasets. Indeed, other authentic data collections projects followed on in more recent years (Ueberwasser & Stark 2017;Cougnon et al 2017). From the point of view of encoding, initial formats of the corpus were .ods spreadsheets and ad hoc .xml.…”

“…European Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) and Mediated Digital Discourse (MDD) corpora initiatives are becoming more visible: Belgian sms4science, Vos Pouces, (Fairon et al, 2006;Cougnon, 2015;Cougnon and Fairon, 2014;Cougnon et al, 2017); Dutch SoNaR, (Oostdijk et al, 2008); French CoMeRe, (Chanier et al, 2014); German DeRik, (Beißwenger et al, 2013); Swiss What's up Switzerland?, (Ueberwasser and Stark, 2017;Frey et al, 2016). These data types are often difficult to process, standardize, analyze, owing to their complex nature, including 'noisy' content (Frey et al, 2019;Poudat et al, 2020).…”

In this paper, the authors present a French Mediated Digital Discourse corpus, (88milSMS http://88milsms.huma-num.fr https://hdl.handle.net/11403/comere/ cmr-88milsms). Efforts were undertaken over the years to ensure its publication according to the best practices and standards of the community, thus guaranteeing compliance with FAIR principles and CLARIN recommendations with pertinent scientific and pedagogical reuse. Since knowledge on how resources are reused is sometimes difficult to obtain, ways of improving this are also envisaged.

“…The chapter concludes by outlining areas for future research such as the need for diachronic comparisons with more recent data coming, for example, from the What'su p , Switzerland? (see Ueberwasser & Stark, 2017), a project of which this volume's editors have been a part. By the same token, Panckhurst & Frontini also point to the value of exploring, amongst other things, intercultural variation and cross-platform differences.…”

Visualizing Digital Discourse

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In a chapter titled 'New frontiers in interactive multimodal communication' for a handbook on Language and Digital Communication, internationally renowned scholar of language and digital media Susan Herring (Herring, 2015: 402) remarks on the need for scholars to develop more properly multimodal approaches to computer-mediated communication. This is what she says: "An approach needs to be developed that analyzes disparate modes in relation to one another, ideally with a common set of research questions, methods, and so forth, to permit meaningful comparisons across modes and across platforms." An approach such as this, Herring goes on to explain, requires attending to the way different modes interact (or not) in different digital texts and contexts.It is precisely this understanding, indeed this empirical reality, which motivates our volume here. Although we do not claim to offer a monolithic approach or even a common set of research questions, we believe Visualizing Digital Discourse is the first dedicated volume of its kind which brings together the work of language and communication scholars committed to understanding the role of visuality (and multimodality) in the context of digital media. The volume showcases the work of leading scholars, established scholars and emerging scholars from across Europe, and addresses a diverse range of digital media platforms (e.g. messaging, video-chat, social media, gaming, video-sharing, photo-sharing), communicative settings (e.g. interpersonal, commercial, institutional), visual modalities (e.g. written language, typography, emojis, photography, video, layout) and methodologies (e.g. discourse analysis, corpus-based analysis, social semiotics, ethnography, conversation analysis) and languages (e.g. French, German, Italian, English, Finnish). Throughout, contributors are specifically focused on understanding the particular role of visual communication in (or about) these digital media platforms as a way to better understand how linguistic and communicative practices are multimodally accomplished. Sometimes visual resources (e.g. typography, photos, emojis, video) are central, at other times they are incidental; regardless, they are always integral to the servicing of people's interactional, institutional and/or ideological objectives.

“…To overcome the inaccessibility of these private social media, several research institutes have set up online databases to which individuals can voluntarily donate their social media messages. Examples are 'What's Up Switzerland' (Ueberwasser & Stark 2017) and 'MoCoDa2' in Germany (Ziegler 2020).…”

Fantastic that you allowed me to use your music, performances and social media posts and that we talked together about how you use language and what Frisian means to you. 4 Dear Dirk-Jan, Femke and Selma: thank you very much for your patience and support. I am as happy as you are that the book is finally ready. Now there will be more time to bake cupcakes and relax again. Thanks very much mum and dad, for your support and confidence in me. Thanks to all my friends and colleagues at the Fryske Akademy and Maastricht University, and the board members of the Stichting Nederlandse Dialecten. A special thanks to Anne,
