It seems to me that very few people in #corpuslinguistics #pragmatics #DiscourseAnalysis and #linguistics in general (with the exception of #nlp ) use preprint services. Why is it so? Does anyone here use preprints? And if so, what archives do you use? Boosters appreciated 🙏

I'm glad to see coverage of discourse analysis of US politics. It would be more interesting to examine the co-occurrence of keywords, but this is a start. #Sociology #DiscourseAnalysis #ComputationalSocialScience

Who does research on how research is grossly, disingenuously & instrumentally misquoted out of historical and disciplinary context, leading to harmful uptake & #MediaPropaganda, including:

- toxicity around Trump's 'alternative truths';
- populist trans-gender discourses;
- linguistic injustice.

Thinking of:

'One becomes, is not born, a woman' (de Beauvoir);
'academic language is nobody's mother tongue' (Bourdieu);
'truth is relative' (post-structuralism/critical theory).

There is something poetic about being in the final stages of editing my thesis on the micropolitics of CSA as the first box of the season arrives! Scapes, salad, and significance simultaneously!

It would be interesting to know who of you fellow friends of the federation (FFF) are at our #DiscourseNet Congress in #Valencia on July 25–28. Perhaps it would be nice to meet up in a coffee break or something? The programme will be published soon. #Fediverse #DNC5ALED #DiscourseAnalysis #DiscourseStudies

Before we break for July and August, we will have one more session from our DN reading group, in which we will reflect on
researcher #positionality. DN members Leonhardt van Efferink and Jaspal Singh
will moderate our discussion, based on the article "Researcher
Positionality – A Consideration of its Influence and Place in #QualitativeResearch" by Andrew Holmes. #DiscourseStudies #DiscourseAnalysis

Reading an article about #FoodSovereignty practices in #Italy and the quotes from #Farmers are so similar to the quotes from farmers in #Ontario and #Quebec in my own research. I love the #extraterritoriality of #discourse

Ruth reacting to my request like she did caused me to take the same approach to my students.

The community of #DiscourseAnalysis is a good one and I hope that scholars from @DiscourseNet can recognise this story.

I hope that together we can make #academia a nicer place for all. Thank you for reading!

I decided to email Ruth Wodak, one of the founders of #CriticalDiscourseAnalysis . I told her my observations described above and to my surprise, she quickly emailed me back and told me she was willing to have a couple of video meetings in order to explain me how to do a proper #DiscourseAnalysis . I was flabbergasted: Ruth had been retired for a while, but she was willing to help me out.

And so she did: we had a couple of video calls in which she meticulously explained to me on how to proceed

Almost none of the published articles that apply any method of #CriticalDiscourseAnalysis actually explicate how their analysis was conducted.

Sure, the article states that, let’s say 131 texts were analysed and that the results are that 528 legitimations of category so-and-so were found, but nowhere any article stated how exactly that research was conducted.

How could I figure out how to do a #DiscourseAnalysis if even the academic articles did not elaborate on this?

Great idea, I thought, until I realised that I had no experience in #DiscourseAnalysis . My BA and MA were in #internationalrelations and #internationalsecurity , not #linguistics .

Understandably, a moment of panic ensued. How could I continue my research without following a full BA degree?

I started to read manuals and articles and I quickly found something that I still consider to be a major flaw in #discourse research.

I started my #PhD in 2019 at the #University of #wroclaw in #Poland. I had a vague idea that I wanted to trace the roots of the 2014 #russiaukraine conflict. At first I wanted to use #foucault and regimes of truth to pursue this analysis but I quickly found out that #DiscourseAnalysis and more specifically #CriticalDiscourseAnalysis and the #discoursehistoricalapproach were much more suited to my research ideas.

For our next session of our reading group we will read Achille #Mbembé (2003) #Necropolitics. In the essay, Mbembé engages with #Foucault’s concept of biopolitics to discuss sovereignty in the context of the instrumentalisation of human existence and the material destruction of human bodies and populations. #DiscourseAnalysis
