| Inhalt | Broadly speaking, discourse analysis focuses on language use in context, on sequences of interactions and the meaning that these interactions have for the participants involved as well as for us as linguistic analysts. Since interaction online, and more broadly interaction mediated through technical, digital, devices, comes with its own affordances, it has given rise to practices that in part can be regarded relative to pre-existing spoken and written interactions, e.g., by contrasting digital actions and interaction with non-digital, analogue linguistic behaviour. In other cases, for example when it comes to turn-taking and the interactional organization of talk, we may need to re-consider whether existing frameworks and categories can help us to capture what is happening in digital discourse in a satisfactory manner, or whether we need new frameworks and theoretical model to explain how meaning is co-constructed by digital interlocutors. In this seminar, we will approach digital discourses from two angles. On the one hand, we will use a theory-driven lens to revisit conversation and discourse analytic theories and assess how well they fare at explaining the particularities on digitally mediated interactions. On the other hand we will approach the topic at hand in a data-driven fashion, with the aim of opening up the whole gamut of digital discourses that has arisen and keeps popping up around us. |
| Lernziele | By the end of the course, students will have learned about and worked with conversation and discourse analytic theories and will have thought about and worked with their application to digital discourses in particular. They will have applied different models and tools to a range of digitally mediated practices, will have made used of different methods of digital discourse analysis and will have gained experience in matching methods and research aims. |
