In the analysis of digital communication, there is a growing interest in how people construct their identities through interaction with each other. Multimodal self- and other-positioning can be seen as a key to the analysis of identity in the framework of interaction analysis. But so far, the focus of many linguistic studies has clearly been on the microanalysis of the purely verbal dimension of small episodes of identity construction in digital communication. Consequently, there is little empirical examination of how self- and other-positioning is shaped discursively, mediated institutionally and realized multimodally. Analysing Wikipedia user pages, the paper follows a multimodal approach that advocates at the same time the integration of discourse and interaction analytic aspects of positioning. So far, the user pages as a locus of (self-) positioning in Wikipedia are completely underexamined in the constantly growing field of linguistic and media-scientific analyses of the collaborative online encyclopaedia, although self-representation can be understood as a prerequisite for participation in digital communication. On the wiki-supported user pages, engaged Wikipedia authors permanently elaborate on their online personas. Simultaneously they negotiate roles and positions in interaction on the corresponding user talk pages. The overall goal is to achieve powerful positions to have a high impact on the collaborative content production in the digital discourses of the online encyclopaedia. Three Wikipedia-specific multimodal resources are considered for the outlined analysis: when constructing identities-in-interaction Wikipedia authors make use of the Babel User Templates, they grant digital prizes and distinctions, and they integrate images on their user pages, which they borrow from the huge image repositories of Wikimedia Commons., Diskurse – digital, Bd. 3 Nr. 1 (2021): Diskurse - digital: Theorien, Methoden, Fallstudien

YouTube is one of the most popular digital platforms in the world. Videos on current and socially relevant topics - such as explanation videos on the COVID 19 pandemic - can achieve a very wide reach. They are viewed millions of times and are discussed from a myriad of different point of view by thousands of Internet users in the comment sections. In this sense, YouTube can be understood as a space of digital discourses for the negotiation of knowledge. In this article, the complexity of YouTube as a discourse space is demonstrated with the help of an example and it is explained which methodological approaches to digital discourses on YouTube are adequate. The qualitative analysis focuses on metaphors through which the participants construct through language shared imaginary worlds about the corona virus.

Mit der Digitalisierung ist die kollaborative Textproduktion ��berSocial Softwarein Vermittlungskontexten in den Fokus ger��ckt und hat in Zeiten vonDistance Teachingweiter an Relevanz gewonnen. Ein Typ vonSocial Software, der die kollaborative Textproduktion erm��glicht, ist die Software MediaWiki, die etwa der Wikipedia zugrunde liegt. Mit den Wikipedia-Korpora des Leibniz-Instituts f��r Deutsche Sprache (IDS) sind Prozesse der Kollaboration in Form gro��er digital verf��gbarer Datenmengen empirisch zug��nglich. Dieser Beitrag zeigt anhand didaktischer Szenarien auf, wie die Wikipedia-Korpora des IDS im DaF-/DaZ-Unterricht genutzt werden k��nnen, um sprachliche Ph��nomene in Wikipedia mithilfe von CMC-Korpora zu analysieren., Korpora Deutsch als Fremdsprache Volume 1 Issue 2 2021

Since 2016, the tour de CLARIN initiative has been periodically highlighting prominent user involvement activities in the CLARIN network in order to increase the visibility of its members, reveal the richness of the CLARIN landscape, and display the full range of activities that show what CLARIN has to offer to researchers, teachers, students, professionals and the general public interested in using and processing language data in various forms. In 2019, we expanded the initiative to also feature the work of CLARIN Knowledge Centres, which offer knowledge and expertise in specific areas provide to researchers, educators and developers alike. Initially conceived as a series of blog posts published on the CLARIN website, Tour de CLARIN soon proved to be one of our flagship outreach initiatives, which has been released in the form of two printed volumes. this third volume of tour de CLARIN is organized into two parts. In Part 1, we present the six countries which have been featured since January 2020: Norway, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Africa, and Iceland. Each national consortium is presented with five chapters: an introduction to the consortium, their members and their work; a description of one of their key resources; the presentation of an outstanding tool; an account of a successful event for the researchers and students in their network; and an interview with a renowned researcher from the Digital Humanities or Social Sciences who has successfully used the consortium’s infrastructure in their work. In Part 2, we present the work of the six Knowledge Centres that have been visited since the publication of the second volume in November 2019: the Impact-CKC K-Centre, the Knowledge Centre for Polish Language technology, the Phonogrammarchiv Knowledge Centre, the Knowledge Centre for Atypical Communication Expertise, the LUND University Humanities Lab Knowledge Centre, and the Spanish Knowledge Centre. Each Knowledge Centre is presented with two chapters: a presentation of what the K-Centre offers to researchers, and an interview with a renowned researcher who has collaborated with the K-Centre.

Die Diskursanalyse ist keine genuin linguistische Perspektive. Sie ist Teil eines größeren Verbundes von Disziplinen, die „je spezifische Formen der Diskursanalyse“ betreiben (Spitzmüller/Warnke 2011: 4). Dabei ist die linguistische Diskursanalyse oder Diskurslinguistik, die sich in den letzten Jahren als linguistische Teildisziplin etabliert hat, selbst weder ein homogenes Feld noch ein kohärentes sprachwissenschaftliches Programm. Vielmehr ist sie ein Sammelbegriff für zahlreiche Varianten, die unterschiedliche Erkenntnisinteressen und Ziele verfolgen (Spitzmüller/Warnke 2011: 4). Ein Ziel, welches viele Spielarten der Diskurslinguistik teilen, ist die Rekonstruktion von Denk- und Vorstellungswelten bzw. Wissensbeständen auf transtextueller Ebene. Daher wollen wir in diesem Band das transtextuelle Muster des Narrativs vorstellen und seine Anwendbarkeit für digitale Diskurse an Fallbeispielen demonstrieren.
