Using Atlas.ti for constructing and analysing multimodal social media corpora
Methods to enable comprehensive corpus analyses of multimodal data are imperative to furthering our understanding of social media and digital communication. In this study, we demonstrate how ATLAS.ti (version 24.2.0) can be used to construct such corpora and conduct corpus-assisted multimodal discourse analysis (CAMDA). The focus for such studies may be the exploration of complex patterns of co-occurrence, both intra- and inter-mode, or iterative…
It Just Made Me Feel Very Broken
This research explores attitudes to diagnostic terminology for pregnancy loss in contemporary British English, amongst participants with experience of receiving and delivering care during and after pregnancy loss. A total of 339 contributions, gathered via focus groups and written testimonies, were collected and analysed using thematic and discourse analytic procedures. These revealed that much of this terminology is associated with discourses of…
Polarized Discourses of Abortion in English
Amidst ongoing global debate about reproductive rights, questions have emerged about the role of language in reinforcing stigma around termination. Amongst some ‘pro-choice’ groups, the use of pro-life is discouraged, and anti-abortion is recommended. In UK official documents, termination of pregnancy is generally used, and abortion is avoided. Lack of empirical research focused on lexis means it is difficult to draw conclusions about the role la…
Pinpointing prescriptive impact
This paper presents a single-author case study which demonstrates that the statistical modelling technique change point analysis (CPA) can provide compelling evidence of prescriptive impact at an idiolectal level. It has been hypothesized that Late Modern English review periodicals consistently pushed a prescriptive agenda, and that this impacted language use ( McIntosh, 1998 ; Percy, 2009 ). A lack of empirical research has, however, left these …
The transition from abortion to miscarriage to describe early pregnancy loss in British medical journals
In British medical research, the transition from abortion to miscarriage , to describe early pregnancy loss, occurred in the late twentieth century. A 1985 letter to The Lancet by a group of eminent obstetricians was long considered unilaterally to have prompted this shift. More recently, however, this conclusion was challenged, and it was suggested instead that the transition constituted natural language change, as medical professionals responde…

Tracing facework over time using semi-automated methods
Impolite behaviour tends to attract more evaluative comment than other facework, making it easier to investigate synchronically and diachronically. A reliance on metapragmatic commentary is not optimum for UK parliamentary studies, however, as MPs cannot use “insulting or rude language” that breaks the chamber’s “rules of politeness” ( www.parliament.uk ). The work reported here thus offers three innovative methods of tracing MPs’ facework as the…
