The language of inclusion and exclusion: discourses on minorities in digital
media

Panel at the 17th International Pragmatics Conference of the IPrA (27 June - 2
July 2021 in Winterthur/Switzerland)

Practices in the inclusion and exclusion of minorities have been studied
extensively in the social sciences, and discourse analysis is beginning to
catch up. In recent years, linguistic studies have focused on discourses of
refugees and migrants (e.g. Viola & Musolff, 2019), of people of color (e.g.
McEnery et al., 2015), of people on grounds of gender (e.g. Fabian, 2020; Gnau
& Wyss, 2020; Paknahad Jaborooty & Baker, 2017; Hardaker & McGlashan, 2016;
McPherson, 2014), disability (Grue, 2014; Sties, 2013), rare diseases
(Brookes, 2020; Harvey & Brookes, 2019, Semino et al., 2017), mental health
issues (e.g. Harvey, 2012), homo- and transsexuality (Bachmann, 2011), etc. in
various countries and contexts. Many of these studies make use of data from
digital media, itself an increasingly popular object of study in linguistics
(e.g. Abel et al., 2020; Marx et al., 2020; Wright, 2020; Bubenhofer, 2017;
McKeever, 2019; Wang & Taylor, 2019; De Decker & Vandekerckhove, 2017; Marx &
Weidacher, 2014; Zappavigna, 2012; Crystal, 2006). These important studies
have raised awareness for the analysis of minority issues from the point of
view of linguistics but aiming inclusion in digital media by inclusive
language use has not been focused so far. 
Given these partly disparate trends, the panel seeks to further the study of
the inclusion and exclusion of minorities (potentially including minorities
not mentioned above) in online discourses from a crosslinguistic perspective.
Its remit includes references to minorities by both members and non-members of
the minorities themselves, and the linguistic and discursive aspects of any
activities and policies fostering the inclusion and/or countering the
exclusion of minorities. Contributions will be invited discussing one or more
of the following issues:
1. the lexicogrammar and phraseology used in the linguistic construction of
minorities with respect to inclusion and exclusion in digital media;
2. salient linguistic strategies for the promotion or denial of inclusion and
minority rights in different languages and different cultural/societal
contexts, and experiences in employing them;
3. the affordances of (a combination of) corpus linguistic,
cultural-linguistic, and other methodologies for the study of online
discourses on minorities.
