In this network a group of researchers coming from linguistics and communication studies worked on a register of kindred projects. Together, they investigated into digital discourse and employed the range of newly developed tools in corpus linguistics and digital methods. For one, the project aimed at systematizing the communicative forms found in current digital discourses and link them to cognate analytical tools. Building on that, the network promoted a set of empirical cases studies that examined the characteristic spectrum of semiotic features and interactive patterns.
The network was funded by a networking grant from the German Research Foundation. More here.
