Co-constructing community and sociability in game streaming chats
Linguistic creativity plays an important role in communication on twitch. • Twitch chatters’ language is designed for community-related communicative needs. • Affective and evaluative stancetaking facilitate online community construction. • Innovative emotes and interjections allow fast and nuanced stancetaking. • Twitch chatters construct synchronised audiences through repetition and variation. On streaming sites such as twitch, audiences intera…
An ‘attractive alternative way of wielding power’? Revealing hidden gender ideologies in the portrayal of women Heads of State during the Covid-19 pandemic
This paper explores the gendered discourses of the – seemingly favourable – media coverage that certain Heads of State received for their handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking at media reports published in different English-speaking outlets in the US, the UK, India, Bangladesh, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland, and using multimodal feminist critical discourse analysis, we identify and describe strategies that on the surface app…
Swearing, identity and power in professional interaction
Swearing is a risky interactional activity but has also been shown to have great potential for fostering social cohesion and positive relations in professional communication. It is particularly interesting to observe in intercultural and multilingual team interactions, where on the one hand attitudes and practices around swearing are likely to differ and on the other, the need to foster positive relations is more pressing given that social cohesi…

Research in various fields has pointed to the important role that troubles talk plays in the construction of positive social relations, but more detailed pragmatic insights are still needed to understand …

On the same page?' Marginalisation and positioning practices in intercultural teams
This study investigates participation problems in teams with mixed language proficiencies. Utilising an in-depth single case study approach and drawing on interactional data and interviews, it explores participation in team meetings. It takes a positioning theory approach, and analyses how the least proficient speaker is subtly positioned in various ways: as silent, different, difficult and incompetent. It argues that these positionings contribut…
Culture, Norms, and the Assessment of Communication Contexts
Over 15 years ago, Smith (2003, p. 68) called for a greater focus on context, arguing: “If the context within which one works with a person from another culture elicits different types of behaviour, then cultural maps will be a poor guide to what happens in such circumstances. [...] a sharper focus on more specific settings, events and contexts and indeed the passage of time is needed.” He recently (Smith, 2015, p. 1312) reiterated this call for …
