Abstract:
This volume examines the language of microblogs drawing on the example of a
group of eleven users who are united by their interest in ballet as a physical
activity and an art form. The book reports on a three and a half year study
which complemented a 20,000 word corpus of tweets with semi-structured
interviews and participant observation. It deals with two main questions: how
users exploit the linguistic resources at their disposal to build a certain
identity, and how the community boundaries are performed discursively. The
focus is on the speech acts of self-praise and complaint, and on the
storytelling practices of microbloggers. The comprehensive treatment of the
speech act theory and the social psychological approaches to self-disclosure
provides a stepping stone to the analysis of identity work, for which the
users draw on two distinctive interpretive repertoires – affiliative and
self-promoting.
