Abstract:

Language and Power in Blogs systematically analyses the discursive practices
of bloggers and their readers in eight English-language personal/diary blogs.
The main focus is thereby placed on ties between these practices and power.
The book demonstrates that the exercise of power in this mode can be studied
via the analysis of conversational control (turn-taking, speakership and topic
control), coupled with research on agreements and disagreements. In this vein,
it reveals that control of the floor is strongly tied not solely to rates of
participation, but more strikingly to the types of contributions interlocutors
make. With its detailed linguistic analyses and comprehensive theoretical and
methodological treatment of language use and power, the book is interesting
for researchers and students working within the domains of pragmatics,
discourse analysis, text linguistics and corpus linguistics, in both offline
and online settings.
