Dissertation project
Linguistic solidarity practices in social media
Small, inconspicuous posts and messages can achieve an enormous reach on social networks within a very short time. Virality as an inherent characteristic of social media communication repeatedly leads to the formation of communities from the interaction that takes place there, which also attract attention outside of social media and thus help to shape social and political discourse.
The dissertation project aims to investigate linguistic practices that users use to show solidarity with one another in social networks. The focus is on the linguistic analysis of discourse patterns, the structure and progression of comment threads, as well as the semantic and pragmatic aspects of linguistic loyalty and solidarity practices. In a cross-network comparison, linguistic strategies of solidarization will be identified and examined both quantitatively and qualitatively.
