About this book

In this book, a solid and emerging group of international researchers contributes to the theory of metadiscourse and to our understanding of the role metadiscourse and related ‘meta’ phenomena may play in digital forms of communication. Providing examples of new research methods and approaches, the authors investigate progressively hybridized academic and non-academic genres that have migrated from analogue to digital format. The book offers valuable insights on how digital communication has changed today’s communication environments and provides examples of research methods needed to capture that change. This volume will be appreciated by scholars and graduate students interested in linguistics, corpus linguistics and metadiscourse.

Reviews

“Various chapters as well as the Introduction offer a view of what metadiscourse is and what direction metadiscourse should take, thus providing this encompassing perspective to novice scholars in the field, but also offering a critical view to more knowledgeable readers. Moreover, the book may be of great interest to digital discourse analysts and researchers … . the volume reads as a versatile, promising window into what metadiscourse might offer to digital discourse analysis.” (Rosa Lorés, ESP Today, Vol. 11 (2), 2023) “This book combines a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to metadiscourse and offers new conceptual tools and frameworks for analysing written, spoken and multimodal discourse. The studies included in the volume draw on data collected from different contexts of digital communication, offering new perspectives on the role of metadiscourse in building and maintaining interaction between individuals and within different communities. Importantly, the studies included here are not restricted to academic and professional domains, as several authors explore new research avenues, such as communication on social media platforms.”
—Maria Kuteeva, Professor of English Linguistics, Stockholm University
