While disseminating one’s research digitally is a promising gateway for knowledge produced to have a greater reach, education researchers are least equipped to use digital methods, compared to other methods. Applying Bernstein’s (2000) concept of recontextualisation with a proposed KM framework, we examine how the discourses of research are selectively appropriated, relocated, refocused and related to the discourse of practice through the translational process in one case study of a project website featuring education research within the Singapore context. Principles for successful recontextualisation drawn from this case study include: (1) educated hunches about key ideas for practical translation, (2) familiarity with specific audience needs, (3) awareness of discourse rules for engagement through specific digital modes. This article contributes towards demonstrating the value and productivity of Bernstein’s (2000) recontextualisation on research via digital media to engage varied audiences beyond the academia. The article concludes with recommendations on the systemic support needed to help researchers build a repertoire of practice for the translational process with the ultimate goal of moving evidence into action.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 100910"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper draws on Hart’s (2011) work on subjectification and objectification categories of epistemic positioning to examine how anchor text hyperlinks in a corpus of blog posts, written by bloggers associated with the Alternative Right (Alt-Right) and Men’s Rights Activists, are used to substantiate claims related to sexual violence against women. The results of the study show a lack of transparency in the claims supported through anchor text, which I argue, can be considered a quasi-objectification category of epistemic legitimisation in the hypertexts in the dataset. The study employs a cognitive linguistic approach to examine evidentiality in the anchor text and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the ways assertions are legitimised in polarising texts online.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 100912"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144588045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It leverages the power of large language models (LLMs), complex social network analysis, and discourse analysis to analyse 154 online posts extracted from a Chinese social media platform. The findings reveal that online sharing of personal experiences in Chinese involves an average of six characters of a social network. The speakers are inclined to present in-group social networks rather than out-groups. More interestingly, Chinese online speakers embed themselves deeply in the in-group social network and, at times, speak as part of the group voice. They position themselves and their in-groups as powerless and unsuccessful ordinary people when sharing experiences. The positioning practices serve as an audience design to engage the broad online audiences, who, interestingly, take a participatory role in the shared experiences. By moving beyond the traditionally examined speaker-hearer dyads, this study advances our understanding of the intricate positioning practices in online sharing discourses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 100913"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144556999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing how these time-based features influence user behavior and create additional forms of labor for women—communicative, relational, and postdigital—this study reveals tensions between Bumble’s empowerment claims and its disciplinary mechanisms. The research combines multimodal critical discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches to examine how Bumble’s marketing discourses and interface design construct and reinforce particular notions of gender empowerment while simultaneously subjecting users to new forms of control.

However, there is not yet a consensus on the effect of group membership on the discourse of opinion sharing. In light of this, we built two corpora with data from two popular travel websites<em>—</em>Ctrip and Tripadvisor. By conducting a corpus-based discourse analysis, we compared the two platform users’ discourses of opinion sharing, with a focus on stance. To compare, we controlled for members’ language and their evaluative stances. The results show the following: (1) Tripadvisor users generally utilise far more self-mentions than the remaining stance types, whereas Ctrip members highly prefer hedges in sharing opinion; and (2) as a reviewer’s stance changes from positive to negative, the Ctrip members’ probability of utilising boosters and self-mentions tend to increase, and the chance of hedge deployment decreases sharply, while the opposite is true for Tripadvisor users. These findings suggest that netizens’ discourse of opinion sharing varies in accordance with their self-identification, which could partially be related to their group membership and subjective knowledge of reciprocity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 100885"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the apparently chaotic form of live stream interactions and streamers’ central role in holding live stream shows, previous research either sees live stream interactions as disordered or over-emphasizes the role of streamers in mustering the community. This study argues that viewers can also affiliate with co-viewers by performing in bullet curtains. To account for this particular way of affiliation, this study localizes the Ambient Affiliation theory in systemic-functional linguistics with the help of the linguistic-anthropological theory of stage performance. Through the analysis of 50 h’ recording of live stream shows, this paper finds that although the strategies of Ambient Affiliation are still adopted in live stream, the realization of them is different. Instead of addressing potential readers as in other forms of social media, viewers here dialogue with streamers and commune affiliation by performing the ideation-attitude couplings in their dialogical comments on the virtual stage of live stream. The performances targeting couplings brought up by streamers would adjust the dialogical space of these couplings (FINESS), and those targeting couplings in viewers’ bullet curtains would interpersonally foreground an entire coupling (PROMOTE). Viewers may also <em>meta</em>-perform to remind audiences of upcoming performances and in this way attribute couplings to target audiences (CONVOKE). Meanwhile, as viewers need to steal the spotlight of streamers by building their performances on streamers’, not only is stylization employed to invoke more powerful voices so as to compete with streamers, but the resulting logico-semantic dependency also sets constraints on the semantic choices of their performances.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"65 ","pages":"Article 100890"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143917548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
