In the last couple of decades, linguistic enquiry into internet genres has become prevalent, resulting in the investigation of internet genres such as live-text commentary, weblogs, online news/news websites, and social network sites. In tandem with this research tradition, the current study investigated the football match preview in a bid to identify its schematic structure and the rhetorical strategies deployed by producers of this genre in achieving their communicative goal(s). Six match previews taken from two online sports websites, Goal.com and Sky-sports.com, comprised the data for the study and Swales’ (1990; 2004) framework of move analysis was used to analyse the data. The study found that the match preview employed a six-move pattern, namely naming the contest, pre-contest dynamics, predicting team line-ups and team formations, assessing squad strength, discussing the contest and naming the preview author. These moves were found to be realised by a relatively restricted range of lexico-grammatical resources. This study has implications for the construction of the match preview genre and future genre studies.

Analytical frameworks for examining educational computer mediated discourse have been mainly designed for asynchronous discussions; hence the classification schemes are typically more sensitive when applied to longer postings than the shorter, more condensed exchanges present in online synchronous discourse. This chapter introduces the exchange structure analysis framework for examining online synchronous interaction at levels of structural organization and pragmatic intention. The further application of social network analysis as a method and visualization tool for the coded exchanges are explained and illustrated. Examples are provided from transcript data of moderated collaborative group discussions during virtual tutorials in a case study. With the integration of discourse and social network analytical methods, a richer interpretation is gained on the processes of articulation and negotiation of meaning during online learning conversations.

We investigated how sharing performance on Facebook and Twitter is influenced both by news articles’ content characteristics and the availability of additional news articles reporting on the same news topic. We conducted a multi-method study, integrating automated data collection and manual/automated content analyses of 1,764 German online news articles. Our findings show the influence of news factors and, more importantly, news outlets on sharing performance, while simultaneously highlighting differences between the logics of news sharing on Facebook and Twitter. We also find that the first article reporting on a news event is shared more often than subsequent articles.

O artigo em questão procurará apresentar um quadro amplo sobre a crônica brasileira contemporânea através de sua recepção dentro da Internet nas três últimas décadas, que compreendem o período de popularização e confirmação dessa tecnologia comunicacional, tanto em seu “ontem” (os primórdios da web e o desenvolvimento de novas percepções entre os anos de 1990 e 2010) quanto o seu “hoje” (o olhar para o tempo presente e as possíveis alterações no decorrer dessas décadas). Inicialmente, será abordado o modo como ocorreu a transposição deste gênero legitimamente fundado no jornal para as plataformas digitais, observando o que chamamos de “ontem” da Internet. Entre os destaques, veremos a concepção da crônica nos jornais e revistas em suas versões onlines, as correntes de e-mails, os populares blogs (e a força das “blônicas”) e as redes sociais. Na sequência, intencionamos apresentar como ocorre a recepção do gênero no tempo presente, apontando as alterações que o “hoje” carrega dos primórdios da crônica dentro da Internet, principalmente na passagem da tecnologia de Web 1.0 para Web 2.0. Nosso trabalho, portanto, analisa o quanto um gênero tão popular em nossa literatura como é a crônica pode ter a capacidade de se adaptar da passagem dos suportes impressos para os suportes digitais, continuando a ser extremamente relevante dentro da sociedade brasileira nos dias atuais. ReferênciasARRIGUCCI Jr., D. 1987.

This chapter reports authoritative insights into one of the most significant developments related to social interaction – social network sites – and offers an analytic framework for exploring these new sites, while underscoring the centrality of social interaction since the Internet's earliest days, such as through email. Social network sites (SNSs) presented several characteristics that made it possible for individuals to easily update their profiles. The implicit role of communication and information sharing has become the driving motivator for participation. The concept of ‘Web 2.0’ was an industry-driven phenomenon, hyped by the news media and by business analysts alike. Social network sites emerged out of the Web 2.0 and social media phenomena, mixing new technologies and older computer-mediated communication practices infused by tech industry ideals. Server-level data offer a unique opportunity to access elaborated behavioural data about what people are doing on SNSs.

The research aimed to explain the pattern of social communication on the issue of rejection of the PLTU Batang development policy. It used data on Twitter accounts involved in the rejection of the PLTU Batang development policy. In analyzing existing data, qualitative methods and social analysis networks were used. To see social networks in the rejection of the PLTU Batang development policy, the research used the NodeXL application to find out the patterns of social communication networks in #TolakPLTUBatang. From the results, it can be seen that in the dissemination of social networking information, the @praditya_wibby account is the most central account in the social network and has a strong influence on the social network. The @praditya_wibby account has a role in moving the community through Twitter to make a critical social movement. This means that in the current digital era, democracy enters a new form through the movement of public opinion delivery through social media. Besides, by encouraging the role of online news, the distribution of information becomes faster to form new perceptions of an issue. This is evident from the correlation network where the @praditya_wibby account has correlations with several compass online media accounts, tirto.id, okezonenews, vice, antaranews, BBCIndonesia, and CNN Indonesia.
