Virtual Character Assassination - open questions from a linguistic point of view Virtual Character Assassination is a complex phenomenon with high societal relevance. In almost all publications we find that cybermobbing (which is the name for the phenomenon in the research literature) can be described as an aggressive act within the context of new media. We already know a lot about frequencies of occurrence, motivations, offender profiles, consequences and causes of cybermobbing. On the one hand, it is the aim of this article to summarize the state of research existing so far in order to detect several connecting factors from a linguistic and communication theoretical point of view. On the other hand, I would like to introduce tentative considerations concerning the interaction between emotional contents and persuasive potentials based on data mainly collected from www.isharegossip.com and social network sites.
Mediatization and Mediality in Social Media: the Discourse System Twitter
The article contributes to the debate about mediatization and the use of language in social media. The theoretical approach evolves from the intersection of linguistics, media and communication studies. While the concept of mediatization describes relations between medial and sociocultural change and the ubiquity of media in everyday life, the concept of mediality sheds light on the inseparability of media and language. From this interdisciplinary perspective, specific practices of media and language use within the microblogging service Twitter were analyzed. Examples from different case studies reveal certain user practices that can be described as formed by ‘moulding forces’ of the medium Twitter without considering technology as determining or symptomatic. Our analysis shows that the use of specific semiotic and functional operators (#, @, RT, http://) establish user practices of creating personal and semantic references and thus constitute Twitter as a multi-referential discourse system.
Die Textsorte Gebet hat zwar eine klare formale Struktur und auch aus sprech- akttheoretischer Perspektive lassen sich einige Aussagen treffen. Über den Inhalt von Gebeten liegen uns jedoch noch zu wenige Erkenntnisse vor. Dabei sehen sich Linguisten vor allem methodischen Problemen gegenüber. So ist der Wortlaut privater Gebete kaum zugänglich. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird eine als Pretest konzipierte Fragebogenstudie vorgestellt, die verschiedene Aspekte des Betens thematisiert. Es werden Tendenzen aufgezeigt, ob und wie Menschen im Gebet Emotionen verbalisieren. Auch über die Konzeptualisierung von Gott, die der Kommunikation zugrunde liegt, lassen sich Annahmen ableiten. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die Textsortenspezifika des Gebets diskutiert.
