Political leaders’ ecological thoughts are predominantly manifested through language, such as ecological metaphors within ecopolitical discourse, and their authoritative statements are disseminated by other political entities across various platforms. This study presents a refined framework for metaphor change analysis, aiming to examine how the ‘Life Community’ metaphor is communicated in Chinese government microblogs. Results show that the ‘Life Community’ metaphor undergoes transformations on the linguistic level, forming a continuum of metaphor change that spans from incremental change to fundamental change. Furthermore, the beneficial ecological orientation of the metaphor does not change in communication. Two new modes of fundamental changes are identified for the first time, including changing the source domain into the target domain, and integrating the source domain with the target domain. This study offers valuable insights into the role of eco-metaphors in Chinese ecopolitical discourse.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141799436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing studies have predominantly focused on the short-term and long-term effects of left-behind experiences on children, there exists a notable research gap concerning grown-up LBC. This study addresses this gap by employing the corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) to examine the discourse of grown-up LBC on social media. By utilizing Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, collocation and concordance analysis, and the ecological systems theory, this study unveils the challenges and opportunities encountered by grown-up LBC, along with their underlying reasons. The findings reveal a myriad of challenges experienced during their left-behind childhood, including material poverty, inadequate parental care, peer bullying, and deficiencies in family and school education. These challenges have been found to contribute to poor psychological well-being, weakened sense of family, distant relationships with parents, and difficulties in forming intimate connections for grown-up LBC. Significantly, the study also uncovers potential positive outcomes, such as the development of self-esteem, independence, and maturity. Moreover, the research highlights the intricate interactions among microsystems, mesosystems, exosystems, and macrosystems, collectively influencing the growth and development of LBC. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex factors influencing the lives of grown-up LBC.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"9 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141803404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, locative media technologies, more specifically travel apps, do not neutrally mediate travelscapes. Rather, they produce a complex surveillance apparatus in which users and the interface algorithm interactionally assembled. To this end, the study argues that travel apps stand as assemblage interventions which regulate the accessibility of travelscapes and reconfigure the travel experience of cities. Informed by this, TripAdvisor touristscape is examined and interpreted in the current study as a surveillant assemblage of technology-human entextualization practices. The surveillance system in TripAdvisor draws upon particular dialectic, ordered and operationalized discourses and their entextualized recontextualization/decontextualization in various social contexts. Such de/recontextualization oscillations are accompanied by a process of semiotic change, which in turn, produces dynamically surveilled spaces and regulated travel experiences. The authors outline three surveillance repertoires that are found to be prevalent in their interaction with TripAdvisor: ‘a decorporealized user’, ‘gamifying the travel experience’ and ‘algorithm performative surveillance’. The analytical approach adopted in current study helps in opening discourse studies to the analysis of the travel apps as surveillant apparatus.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"14 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141803782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applying Van Leeuwen’s ‘justificatory schema’ it reveals the legitimation of this measure relied on an ‘anti-welfare populist’ framing of the young unemployed as ‘welfare dependent’ and thus ‘undeserving’. Furthermore, this analysis finds that those opposed to this austerity measure sought to de-legitimate it and to re-legitimate the young unemployed. At times by singling out alternative ‘undeserving’ figures to be targeted with austerity in their place. This process thus remained open to contestation and resignification, albeit in a manner that failed to challenge the underlying political-economic logic at play. The antagonistic framings revealed by these findings complicate the emphasis on ‘de-politicisation’ in the pre-existing literature using discourse analysis methods to investigate the legitimation of austerity.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141803792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adopting a mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this article analyzes the transcriptions of six authentic recordings of family mediation sessions in Chinese mainland. The results indicate that, first, three categories of evaluations encoding intentions are identified in disputants’ discourses including ethical evaluation, affective evaluation, and informative evaluation; second, disputants’ particular intentions are decoded by their evaluations expressed through specific semantic forms. Additionally, these evaluations conveying varied intentions, are deeply motivated by Chinese socio-cultural values of mianzi (face), renqing (emotion), and guanxi (relationship).","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"19 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141803154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is limited discursive psychological research analysing arguments for and against the possibility of a second referendum concerning the UK’s EU membership status. We collected our data by transcribing a parliamentary debate where politicians discussed a second referendum and analysed it using a discursive psychological framework. Whether they supported leave or remain, politicians discredit their opposing position for supposedly lacking democratic values. As such, politicians portrayed their stances on Brexit as a requirement to uphold democratic principles. The main implication of the analysis demonstrated that politicians defined democracy depending on the positions they took regarding calls for a second Brexit referendum. The present study contributes to the growing discursive literature on Brexit discourse by showing how the meaning of democracy is contested and used as a tool to manage accountability.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"55 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141339264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study explores online religious othering in Nigeria’s electoral discourse. The study utilises a critical discourse analytic approach and examines a dataset of over 14,000 Facebook comments from Nigerians from different religious groups. The analysis revealed that religious othering in the electoral discourse was indexed using three major strategies, namely: demonisation, ingroup ostracisation and stereotyping. The study demonstrates, among others, an emergent intra-religious discord in the online electoral discourse, mainly among the Christian group. Members who displayed favouritism to an outgroup cause, in this case, the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, are framed as Other. They are denied the membership of being a Christian. The study concludes with imperative advocacy for the cultivation of critical religious tolerance, a model and practice for engendering a respectful and inclusive political environment beyond religious affiliations.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"13 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Commonly deployed as a panacea for inequality and source of social justice, the discourse can conceal and even perpetuate inequalities. Intertwined with neoliberal ideology, social mobility discourse is contextually contingent, manifesting differently according to local conditions. This paper critically analyses social mobility discourse in the Indonesian context through ‘rags to riches’ stories of female celebrities in media interviews. Applying a contextually sensitive approach to agency within a CDA framework, this paper contributes new knowledge to the study of social mobility discourse in the Global South. The findings illustrate the pervasiveness of neoliberalism and its coalescence with local ideologies of gender, class and place, and how upwardly mobile women deploy ideological resources to create a mobility niche. The discourse strategies they use legitimise their mobility but reproduce unequal relations of power, undermining the objectives of social mobility.","PeriodicalId":432402,"journal":{"name":"Discourse & Society","volume":"117 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
