With the advent of mobile devices, mediatized political discourse became more dynamic. I assume that the microblog Twitter can be considered as a medium for spatial coordination during protests. Therefore, the case of neo-Nazi demonstrations and counter-protests in the city of Dresden that occurred in February 2012 is analysed. Data consists of microposts that occurred during the event. Quantitative analysis of hashtag and retweet frequencies was performed as well as qualitative speech act pattern analysis and a tempo-spatial discourse analysis on selected subsets of microposts. Results show that a common linguistic practice is verbal georeferencing and by that constructing space. Empirical analysis indicates a strong relation between communicational online space and physical offline place: Protest participants permanently reconfigure spatial context discursively and thus the contested protest area becomes a temporarily meaningful place.
This paper explores on the basis of empirical research, how patterns of interaction and argumentation in political discourse on Twitter evolve as translocal communities in the creative shape of “joint digital storytelling”. Joint storytelling embraces coordinated activities by multiple actors focusing on a shared topic. By adding personal information and evaluation, participants construct an open narrative format, which can be inviting and inspiring for others, who then join in with their own narratives. This model will be exemplified by analyzing a large amount of tweets (107,000) collected during a political conflict between proponents and adversaries of a local traffic project in Germany. Analysis is based on (1) the textual level, (2) the operative level (hashtags, @- and RT-Symbol, hyperlinks etc.) and (3) the visual level of storytelling (embedded photos, videos). Results show a new way of creating translocal online communities and political deliberation.
Nutzerfeedback und seine Auswirkungen auf den lexikographischen Prozess von Internetwörterbüchern
(2013)
In aktuellen Internetwörterbüchern werden die Wörterbuchnutzer mithilfe eines breiten Spektrums an Möglichkeiten in die lexikographische Arbeit einbezogen (z. B. Fehlermeldungen, eigene Einträge) bzw. mithilfe verschiedener Mittel an das Wörterbuch gebunden (z. B. Newsletter, Blogs). Zwischen wirklicher Bottom-up-Lexikographie und Methoden der Nutzerbindung bei kommerziellen Onlinewörterbüchern bewegen sich also die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten des Nutzerfeedbacks, das in vielen Fällen auf den Entstehungsprozess des jeweiligen Wörterbuchs Einfluss nimmt. In diesem Vortrag wird vorgestellt, an welchen Stellen des lexikographischen Prozesses von Internetwörterbüchern sich „die Öffentlichkeit“ einbringen kann und wie sich dieses Feedback auf den Prozess der Erarbeitung solcher Wörterbücher auswirkt. Dabei werden zugleich die verschiedenen Phasen des lexikographischen Prozesses von Internwörterbüchern vorgestellt und die für Wörterbücher in diesem Medium spezifischen Herstellungsbedingungen diskutiert.
The KorAP project (“Korpusanalyseplattform der nächste Generation”, “Corpus-analysis platform of the next generation”), carried out at the Institut fUr Deutsche Sprache (IDS) in Mannheim, Germany, has as its goal the development of a modem, state-of-the-art corpus-analysis platform, capable of handling very large corpora and opening the perspectives for innovative linguistic research. The platform will facilitate new linguistic findings by making it possible to manage and analyse extremely large amounts of primary data and annotations, while at the same time allowing an undistorted view of the primary un-annotated text, and thus fully satisfying expectations associated with a scientific tool. The project started in July 2011 and is funded till June 2014. The demo presentation in December will be the first version following a preliminary feature freeze, and will open the alpha testing phase of the project.
