Abstract:

This monograph introduces the Evaluative Discourse Metaphor model,
which argues that participants in public and semi-public online
discourse (re)use evaluative metaphors to construct and maintain
communities. We explore how such metaphors trigger others with similar
forms, though not necessarily the same evaluative targets, generating
discourse spaces unified by a shared evaluative ethos. The model draws
on a discourse-based view of metaphor, Hallidayan metafunctions, Du
Bois’s stance triangle, and insights from computer-mediated
communication, with a focus on affordances and community-building. We
define or redefine key concepts including single evaluative metaphors,
metaphorical complexes, triggers, bondicons, and chains. Rather than
departing from existing literature, we integrate it into a framework
valuable to scholars in metaphor studies, digital ethnography,
discourse analysis, and online communication.
