Commenters post text messages next to the subtitled videos while they are streaming, and their comments thus relate in specific ways to the artefact they complement. We explore what aspects apparent in fan subtitles are taken up in timed comments by comparing our own corpus of such timed comments (KTACC-A) to our corpus of English fansubtitles to the same Korean television-drama (KSUBV-A). Positioning the comments relative to the fan subtitles allows us to explore the linguistic features that characterise timed commenting as a video-oriented practice and to theorise artefact-orientation in terms of transtextuality. Using noun frequency and keyness as measures of comparison, we confirm the importance of sharing emotive stance and humour support. For artefact orientation, we highlight a shared focus between timed comments and subtitles on the events and characters of the plot. However, in comments, evaluation of such plot elements plays a key role, whereas highly descriptive and specific aspects are either omitted or at times referred to by means of deictic expressions. We emphasise that both comments and subtitles are enrichments of the videos that become themselves part of the artefact and point of orientation for subsequent viewers and discuss the transtextual dimension of timed comments and different types of transtextuality as dimensions along which members of the community may understand the overall artefact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 100756"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000023/pdfft?md5=725597507d554ec732d16f0b7e43f0fb&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000023-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140134500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our data comes from a corpus of 12,607 tweets collected in both May and August 2020. We focus on tweets containing “Trump”, as these occurred frequently throughout the corpus, to assess the ways in which Twitter users engage with discourses surrounding Covid-19 relative to the then-US President.</p><p>Focusing on the local contexts of the tweets we, first, demonstrate the contrasting social values indexed by specific keywords and hashtags. We refer to these as countervalues (Bearth, 2005) that illustrate the multiple and competing valorisations of terms for Covid-19 and which lead to the reproduction of two main contrasting discourses. The first illustrates that Covid-19 is “fake”, “a hoax”, and is explicitly linked indexically with China and tends to appear in tweets by pro-Trump users. A second set of discourses emerges in opposition to the pro-Trump tweets where categorisations of the virus as fake or a hoax are described by users as moronic, links to China are described as racist, and users demonstrate an explicitly anti-Trump ideology. We conclude that the recirculation of these discourses is evidence of sociological fractionation (Agha, 2007), as we see the pro-Trump group resisting the scheme of values put forward by the anti-Trump group. To this end, we contribute to the body of research that sheds light on the participatory frameworks enabled by social media affordances.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100758"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000047/pdfft?md5=d15ae030b082d6e8bec4f36978da36fd&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000047-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140024443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disciplined body refers to particularly designed bodily movements, orienting to their recognizability by the machine. Drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this study demonstrates that participants endogenously display a sensitivity towards machine’s recognition, through which they point to a need for players to discipline their bodies and produce machine-designed movements. Disciplining the body involves producing the game movements in particular forms required by the machine, calibrating the movements to the constraints of the machine, and timing the movements in coordination with the unfolding games. The analysis provides insights for reflecting on the relations between humans and machines and in particular how the former adapts to the latter. Participants attribute a specific form of agency to the machine to see and recognize the player movements. This necessitates the players to perform their game movements with specific qualities, which deviates from the “natural” human body, arguably leading to dehumanization. This study is based on video-recorded data in which participants speak Turkish.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100754"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695823000879/pdfft?md5=1e468a5e52c18069e2bc461f8e551aa0&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695823000879-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139901400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assuming that text-image interplays, such is the case of memes, may be extremely complex to disentangle by AI-driven models, the paper adopts a sociosemiotic multimodal critical approach to discuss the challenges of automatic detection of hateful memes on the Internet. As a case study, we select two different English-language datasets, 1) the Hateful Memes Challenge (HMC) Dataset, which was built by the Facebook AI Research group in 2020, and 2) the Text-Image Cluster (TIC) Dataset, including manually collected user-generated (UG) hateful memes. By discussing different combinations of non-hateful/hateful texts and non-hateful/hateful images, we will show how humour, intertextuality, and anomalous juxtapositions of texts and images, as well as contextual cultural knowledge, may make AI-based automatic interpretation incorrect, biased or misleading. In our conclusions, we will argue the case for the development of computational models that incorporate insights from sociosemiotics and multimodal critical discourse analysis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100755"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695824000011/pdfft?md5=34f53fbb557f1af17cea42644e44a543&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695824000011-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139943037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undercover police are tasked with posing as offenders to gather intelligence; however, we know little about the nature of these groups, and especially how one might approach them linguistically as an ‘authentically’ interested outsider. This study analyses rhetorical moves (Swales, 1990) in forum posts from child abuse-related dark web fora by self-identifying ‘newbies’ hoping to join established abuse communities. It identifies 12 distinct moves used in the pursuit to join online abuse communities and finds that expressions of competence and expertise are central to newbies’ attempts to gain community membership. ‘De-lurking’ is identified as a useful strategy in the performance of competence in online forums. These findings can support online undercover policing tasks as well as offender prioritisation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100744"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211695823000776/pdfft?md5=bdcc4c25d5752ea201b15e11a933a73e&pid=1-s2.0-S2211695823000776-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139471001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
