Abstract:

"Cohesive Profiling" provides one of the first linguistic descriptions of blog 
discourse, focusing on the cohesive relations which enable users to construe 
blogs as compatible meaningful wholes. With a corpus-based analysis of 
cohesive relations in personal blogs, the study surprisingly reveals that there is 
only limited cohesive rapport between the textual contributions of blog authors 
and readers. The book retraces blogs' technological, linguistic and generic 
evolution and describes how today's blog genres are structured and composed. 
Additionally, it is shown how cohesive interaction, shared knowledge and 
technological expertise converge in blog readers trying to keep track of blog 
topics, purposes and identities over time. The book is of interest to researchers 
in discourse analysis, corpus linguistics and pragmatics as well as to scholars 
working in the field of computer-mediated communication.
