TL;DR: The authors examined strategies of language choice in social networking interactions among multilingual young people on Facebook, drawing on the sociolinguistic framework of audience design, the socolinguistics of multilingualism and computer-mediated discourse analysis.
Abstract: This paper examines strategies of language choice in social networking interactions among multilingual young people on Facebook. In media studies the term “context collapse” describes the process by which online social networks bring together people from various social contexts, thereby creating a diverse networked audience. In online social networks that involve participants from different countries and language communities, language choice becomes a pertinent issue. This paper draws on empirical data from social networks among young multilingual people on Facebook to examine strategies of language choice and negotiation. Drawing on the sociolinguistic framework of audience design, the sociolinguistics of multilingualism and computer-mediated discourse analysis, the analysis examines language choice in initiating and responding contributions, metapragmatic negotiations of language style and the role of English as a resource among networked writers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for the analysis of verbal interaction between teacher and pupils in primary-level EFL lessons is presented, which attempts to illuminate the support to learning which can be offered by the teacher's responsiveness to pupils.
Abstract: This paper presents a framework for the analysis of verbal interaction between teacher and pupils in primary-level EFL lessons. The analysis attempts to illuminate the support to learning which can be offered by the teacher's responsiveness to pupils. Theoretically, it seeks to relate understandings from discourse analysis and educational psychology, by suggesting ways in which the functions and patterning of classroom discourse can be understood in relation to a Vygotskian view of the interactive nature of learning. Some of the theoretical challenges which have arisen are explored. The paper is based on a research project aiming to describe forms of teacher responsiveness to pupils in relation to their effect on the potential creation of shared meaning in the classroom. The research data-base includes audio and video tapes from EFL classes in Malaysia, Malta, and Tanzania. The paper summarizes the first stage of the research, which began in the 1993/4 academic year

TL;DR: The authors used critical discourse analysis and Bourdieu's theoretical framework to explore rural young women's meanings of health and fitness and how the healthism discourse is perpetuated through their experiences in school physical education (PE).
Abstract: This paper makes use of critical discourse analysis and Bourdieu's theoretical framework to explore rural young women's meanings of health and fitness and how the healthism discourse is perpetuated through their experiences in school physical education (PE). The young women's own meanings are explored alongside interview data from their school PE head of department (HoD). The healthism discourse was evident in the way that the young women spoke of physical activity, health, fitness and their bodies. They viewed health and fitness as being important to control body shape and adhered to a stereotypical feminine appearance as ideal. The data also illustrate how a school health and physical education (HPE) HoD's own engagements with the healthism discourse and the school's HPE curriculum shaped the young women's understandings of health and fitness and their bodies. Data presented in this paper are drawn from an Australian longitudinal, qualitative project involving interview and visual collection methods. Th...

TL;DR: This work addresses how racial justice activist hashtags #NotYourAsianSideKick and #SolidarityisforWhiteWomen circulate discourse across networked online publics within and outside Twitter.
Abstract: Using critical discourse analysis and network analysis, I address how racial justice activist hashtags #NotYourAsianSideKick and #SolidarityisforWhiteWomen circulate discourse across networked online publics within and outside Twitter. These hashtags showcase relationships between feminist online publics, demonstrate ways that hashtags circulate racial justice discourse, and exemplify the fluidity and intersectionality of racialized and feminist online publics. I draw on critical technocultural discourse analysis (CTDA) (Brock, 2012) as my technique in order to examine the hashtag’s discursivity. In order to analyze message spread and network relationships, I then provide a network analysis that illustrates message circulation in online feminist spheres.

TL;DR: The notion of Big 'D' Discourse as mentioned in this paper is meant to capture the ways in which people enact and recognize socially and historically significant identities or "kinds of people" through well-integrated combinations of language, actions, interactions, objects, tools, technologies, beliefs, and values.
Abstract: The notion of “Big ‘D’ Discourse” (“Discourse” spelled with a capital “D”) is meant to capture the ways in which people enact and recognize socially and historically significant identities or “kinds of people” through well-integrated combinations of language, actions, interactions, objects, tools, technologies, beliefs, and values. The notion stresses how “discourse” (language in use among people) is always also a “conversation” among different historically formed Discourses (that is, a “conversation” among different socially and historically significant kinds of people or social groups). The notion of “Big ‘D’ Discourse” sets a larger context for the analysis of “discourse” (with a little “d”), that is, the analysis of language in use. Keywords: cultural/critical communication; identity; language and social interaction; discourse; discourse analysis
