This class provides an overview of digital genres found in socio-technically diverse online environments. Starting out from basic terminology and basic approaches, we will discuss how to model and linguistically examine genres, while drawing attention to established and emergent linguistic features found in the ensuing discourses.
Adopting a diachronic perspective, this class investigates various digital genres, ranging from more traditional, text-based genres (e.g. newspapers, Wikipedia, discussion fora, …) to more recent, increasingly multimodal genre trends found on participatory social media (e.g. YouTube reviews, memes, emojis, …).
There will also be room to discuss examples from your favourite social media platforms, so feel free to bring your own ideas and suggest material for discussion. Further details will be made available in the first session.
