[Linganth] lit on online discourse

[Sidury Christiansen]

Hi Karen,

Check out Jacob Eisenstein work on Twitter <http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~jeisenst/> and other social media outlets. 
The work of Joel Bloch <http://llt.msu.edu/vol8num3/bloch/> may also be of interest. He analyzes writing in a listserv (or usernet). 
The journal Language at internet <http://www.languageatinternet.org/> also has very many good resources, as well as the Journal of Computer-mediated Communication <http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/(ISSN)1083-6101>.
Susan Herring <http://ella.ils.indiana.edu/~herring/index.html>’s work can also be helpful, especially the article where she problematizes what can be considered a community in a digital space. 

One of my articles discusses data in online research (first one on the list)  and in the three others I present similar kind of data.

I hope this helps.

I am trying to get a sense of whether there are criteria for selecting “good data”, how one justifies using this kind of data, how to deal with the problem of anonymity when attempting to describe the groups, “speech communities” etc. who produce the texts and the context for these discourses, how to compare this data to other kinds of spoken discourse, and how to represent this data on the page in publications.
