Is Generative AI the Future of Qualitative Discourse Analysis?<br>
Susan C. Herring<br>
Indiana University Bloomington, USA<br>
<br>
Generative AI is rapidly transforming how scholars teach and do research. In this presentation, I will report on experiments my research team has been conducting to explore whether, and if so, how well, generative AI is able to apply qualitative computer-mediated
discourse analysis (CMDA) methods that are regularly assigned to students in a course I teach, given similar guidelines and data. The focus is on two phenomena: CMC (speech) acts and politeness. I will show where and how the AI fails in its analyses, as well
as where it succeeds, including at what cost to the methods themselves. I aim to generate debate about the future of qualitative discourse analysis in the era of generative AI.<br>

Susan C. Herring is Professor of Information Science and Linguistics and Director of the Center for Computer-Mediated Communication at Indiana University, Bloomington. For the past 35 years she has been researching structural, pragmatic, interactional, and
social phenomena in communication mediated by digital technologies. Her recent research has focused on multimodal CMC, including communication mediated by telepresence robots, graphical icons, and video. She is especially interested in discourse about, and
uses of, digital face modification, including "deepfake" technology, A past editor of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, she currently edits the journal Language@Internet.<br>
