“Dear blog:” A look at adolescent diary blogs and their audiences
This document discusses adolescent diary blogs and their audiences. It defines what constitutes a diary blog and how they differ from paper diaries in that they are not always kept privately. The document notes that adolescents account for around one-third to nearly 40% of bloggers based on two studies. Diary blogs are considered a form of personal narrative performance, with characteristics of both written and oral communication. The document outlines Langellier's framework of potential audiences for personal narratives, including as a witness, therapist, cultural theorist, narrative analyst, and critic. It describes the methodology used in analyzing adolescent diary blogs.
Adolescent diary blogs and the unseen audience
The document summarizes research on adolescent diary blogs. It finds that teenage girls make up a large portion (34-39%) of blog authors. The research analyzed 12 adolescent blogs to understand how the bloggers see their audience. It identified 5 potential audiences based on prior research: as a witness, therapist, cultural theorist, narrative analyst, or critic. The research found that female bloggers saw their audience as both seeking internal support but also assessing culture, while male bloggers focused more on having the audience witness events and comment on their performance. The study aims to further analyze more blogs and understand how bloggers view their intended audience.
Addressing the unseen the audience envisioned for adolescent diary weblogs
The document summarizes research on the audiences envisioned for adolescent diary weblogs (blogs). It finds that over one-third of bloggers are adolescents. Adolescent blogs differ from paper diaries in that they are not always intended for personal use and may not be private. The research analyzed 12 adolescent blogs to identify the types of audiences bloggers envision based on Langellier's framework. Most blogs envisioned the audience as witnesses to their experiences. Females tended to envision bifurcated audiences while males focused more on narrative analysis and performance.
Critically evaluating culture
This presentation looks to explore different ways that culture has been traditionally utilized in EFL materials and research, and present a new way in which to investigate and evaluate cultural content. Through this process, a more nuanced approach to how culture is approached in the EFL classroom can start to take shape.

This document discusses genres and how they can be defined and analyzed. It provides several definitions of genre and notes that genres have certain features, purposes, conventions and inspire certain types of actions. Genres can be difficult to define rigidly and different genres interact with and influence each other. The document also discusses how genres relate to media, change over time, and are intertwined with social and cultural needs. It analyzes Carolyn Miller's definition of genres as social action and provides tips for understanding and analyzing genres.
Saoni banerjee joint experience in crisis~a self discovery
This autoethnography examines the author's experience of a bus bomb explosion in a nearby city while studying abroad as a cultural outsider. The author uses two personal data sources: 1) A reflective drawing of shared human expressions of those affected and 2) An email describing the event in which the use of pronouns shifts from "I/they" to "us/we", showing a repositioning of belonging. Phenomenological and selective coding were used to analyze the sources. The crisis experience overshadowed the author's outsider identity and fostered a collective feeling of belonging within the cultural group. Personal works are less governed by power dynamics than written texts and thus more directly expressive of feelings.

The document presents a master plan for a new town called "The Joyful Town" covering 28 square km with a population of around 180,000. The plan includes residential, recreational, education, commercial, hospitality/tourism, government, religious, public services, agricultural, industrial, and transportation areas. Transportation includes a bullet train running on renewable energy, bio-gas buses and cars, bicycles, and pedestrian walkways. Sustainability features incorporate green roofs, solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and electricity generation from sea water and wind turbines. The overall goal is to create a livable, sustainable town that meets the needs of citizens and tourists.

Conclusions
Wal-Mart is considered a leader in technology for developing their own software, giving them flexibility to innovate without restrictions. Their website could still be improved to provide more innovative services compared to other companies. While Wal-Mart's idea to implement RFID instead of barcodes may be ahead of its time, more research is needed, but many companies followed their lead in attempting RFID for inventory, showing them as a major technology innovation leader.

Writing In A Social Context[1]. Discourse Community
Writing is a social process that occurs within discourse communities. Power dynamics create hierarchies where some knowledge and authors are privileged over others. The dominance of English as the language of global discourse also concentrates power and risks reducing diversity. To be part of an academic discourse community, one must understand and apply the community's conventions, styles, ideologies, and culture, as defined by the goals and language used in its texts. Mastering a journal's particular culture is important for inclusion and to avoid being seen as an outsider.

The Theme of Social Injustice in the Polish Translation of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
Dr. Agnieszka Kałużna,
The Institute of Modern Languages (Instytut Neofilologii), Faculty of Humanities (Wydział Humanistyczny), The University of Zielona Góra (Uniwersytet Zielonogórski), Poland
The aim of the present study is to analyze the theme of social injustice in the nineteenth century translation of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. It is to be seen what changes occurred in the theme of social injustice between the target and the source languages as a result of the translator’s initiative. The examined rendition comprises the Polish version of Oliwer Twist which was translated anonymously in 1845. The analysis is carried out with regard to a number of the translational parameters. These parameters include translation shifts (Catford, 1965), disambiguation and semantic or stylistic incongruities (Munday, 2004), direct and oblique techniques (Vinay and Darbelnet, 1995). The theoretical part of the paper presents such concepts as the issue of social injustice in Victorian England and Dickens’s personal attitude in this regard. The description of the theoretical notion of translation shifts is also included. Additionally, the model of analyzing meaning known as disambiguation is introduced. Concurrently, direct and oblique translation techniques in reference to semantic and stylistic incongruities are mentioned. The practical part consists in analyzing the selected fragments of the source text juxtaposed with their target equivalents. The scrutiny aims at identifying how phrases dealing with social injustice were translated in line with the translational parameters in question. Finally, conclusions are drawn.
Keywords: Dickens, social injustice, translation analysis, translation shifts, direct and oblique translation techniques

Swann
This document summarizes Joan Swann's AHRC-funded project from 2007-2008 that analyzed the discourse of reading groups. The project studied 16 reading groups to understand how members interpret and evaluate literary texts, how interpretations are constructed and relate to identities and professional criticism, and how talk integrates social and affective elements. Data sources included audio recordings and transcripts of discussions, interviews, and documents. Discourse analysis identified themes, strategies, and was informed by observations and interviews. Outcomes included publications analyzing reading group talk, interpretations over time, and comparisons to academic readings.
Citation
The document discusses scholarly etiquette and proper citation styles. It explains that scholarly etiquette includes courtesy in class discussions, using a formal writing style even in informal technologies, and giving credit to other researchers through citations and bibliographies. It then provides examples of citations formatted in MLA style, including citations for books, book chapters, journal articles, and websites. It also discusses using bibliographic information like volume and issue numbers to locate cited sources.

This document summarizes a research study that analyzed how postgraduate students from Turkey, Britain, and Turkish students writing in English establish their authorial presence in discussion sections of dissertations. The study analyzed 90 dissertations total from the three groups, looking at both explicit mentions using first-person pronouns and implicit mentions using passive voice and impersonal constructions. The quantitative analysis found that Turkish students and Turkish students writing in English preferred implicit mentions to create a more impersonal impression, while British students used more explicit mentions for a more self-prominent academic prose. The qualitative analysis provided some evidence that all three groups used explicit and implicit mentions to accomplish common discourse functions in discussion sections.

English as a Global LanguageAround the world, the English langua
English as a Global Language
Around the world, the English language is being used for communication among people who come from various language backgrounds—in fact, a majority of English users today grew up speaking other languages. As a result of these language contacts, the English language itself is changing its shape. While some people resist change, there is not much any individual—or a group of people—can do to reverse the trend. In fact, no one owns the language. Yet, people have various views about what English is or should be.
One way to understand different perspectives on an issue is to conduct a rhetorical analysis of texts--spoken or written.
Rhetorical analysis
is a way of analyzing what the text can tell us not only about the subject and argument strategies but also about the interrelationship among the writer, the audience, the genre and arguments as well as the cultural values of the writer and of the knowledge community.
For this writing project, write a rhetorical analysis essay (a kind of critical analysis essay) that examines an argument about English as a global language. Start by identifying a text that presents an argument about global English. The text can be of any genre—including newspaper editorial, opinion sections of newspapers or magazines, blogs, websites, advertisements, signs, posters, and so on. (Keep in mind that analyzing short texts could require more effort in interpreting and explaining the text and its context.)
Once you have identified the text for analysis, explore the text and its context by considering the following questions: What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? What kind of situation is the text responding to? Who is the writer? How does the writer establish his or her credibility? What is the writer’s attitude toward the subject? How do you know? Who is the primary audience? Who is the secondary audience? What is the major argument and how is it being built? What are some of the supporting arguments? What other arguments or perspectives are represented? What is the genre and what are some of the characteristic features that are expected? What are the characteristics that are actually found in the text? Is the text effective in communicating the main point to the audience? What can you say about the values and assumptions that are shared by members of the knowledge community?
In addition to analyzing the text itself, you may also find it useful to find out about the medium in which the text was presented. Explore these and other related questions thoroughly to generate ideas for your writing.
Learning Objectives
In this project, you will learn to
Analyze persuasive texts by examining the rhetorical context, argument strategies and textual features
Understand how to analyze the rhetorical features of various types of texts and images
Understand various perspectives on the global spread of the English language
Examine how arguments can be developed and presented to a ...

Daniel chandler an introduction to genre theory
This document provides an overview of genre theory and discusses some of the challenges in defining genres. It notes that while genres are commonly used to categorize different types of texts, there is no agreed-upon taxonomy and theorists often disagree on how to define specific genres. Genres exist as abstract concepts rather than empirical categories, and their boundaries are not fixed but debated. The document also lists some of the typical features used to characterize genres, such as narrative patterns, characters, themes, and film techniques. However, it acknowledges that defining genres based solely on these features is problematic since criteria can vary significantly between theorists.
Review literature
This document provides information about reviewing literature for research. It defines a literature review as a written summary of past and current research on a topic. The purpose of a literature review is to define the research problem, avoid duplication, understand methodology, and identify gaps to position new research. It discusses primary sources like research articles and secondary sources like reviews. It also outlines various reference materials that can be used in a literature review like encyclopedias, dictionaries, thesauruses, yearbooks, directories, and indexes.

Teaching Hurricane Katrina
1) The document discusses a presentation about teaching lessons from Hurricane Katrina and preparing students for natural disasters.
2) It describes an in-class activity where students listed things they would do if they had 24 hours notice of an earthquake, with most saying they would not leave their homes.

Doing Gender in Computer- Mediated Communication: The Blogosphere
This document summarizes research on gender differences in blogs and computer-mediated communication. It finds that:
1) Women are more likely to write personal diary blogs focusing on personal reflections, while men are more likely to write filter blogs focusing on external events.
2) Discourse analysis finds that women's blog entries and comments tend to be more personal, emotional, and focus on relationships, while men's tend to be more factual, assertive, and focus on displaying knowledge.
3) However, when accounting for blog genre, few linguistic gender differences are found; the genres themselves are gendered. This helps explain disparities in prior research not accounting for genre.
Drilling down: A look at the digital ways bloggers tell their personal stories
This document summarizes research on different genres of personal blogs/diaries (diary weblogs). It describes the defining characteristics and evolution of general blogs and diary blogs. It also examines subgenres like photoblogs, moblogs, cyborglogs, audioblogs, podcasts, videologs and lifelogs. Research findings on gender differences in blog content and the prevalence of teen blogging are also summarized.
Terms of service agreements and research design
This document discusses how terms of service agreements of social media sites can impact research design. It notes that while these agreements have not been tested in courts regarding academic research, they raise issues about who has access to what data and how data must be collected and presented. The document advises researchers to ask social media sites for permission to conduct research, exemption from problematic terms, or notification only. It also recommends having backup plans and cites five criteria for fair academic use of copyrighted materials.

The document discusses different sampling methods for qualitative research, including purposeful sampling, criterion sampling, and a warning about purposeful sampling. Purposeful sampling involves strategically selecting a limited number of informants to provide optimal insights into an issue that is not well understood. However, purposeful sampling should not be haphazard and selection rules should be developed to prevent personal preference from influencing sampling. Criterion sampling involves setting a criteria and selecting all cases that meet that criteria, providing a strong quality assurance.

The document summarizes research on the types of links readers choose to click through from a blog post. Data was collected on 787 click-throughs from the blog Professional-Lurker.com over 3 months. The top two categories clicked were links to the author's personal website and academic articles, accounting for 40.5% of clicks. Readers showed significant interest in additional information about the blog author. Links to entire blogs were clicked more than links to specific blog posts, suggesting readers want to view the full blog to assess its credibility before viewing a single post.

This document describes a study that analyzed 312 avatars used by adolescents in online chat rooms. The study found that most avatars were humanoid, with more female avatars than male. Female avatars commonly depicted coy gazes, nudity, exaggerated sexual characteristics. Male avatars depicted action figures, weapons, obscured eyes. Both genders used compound avatars. The interpretations suggest female avatars portrayed submission while male avatars depicted masculinity through action and anonymity.
Avatars in adolescent chat spaces
This study analyzed 312 avatars used by adolescents in 5 general chatrooms to understand how gender is represented. Most avatars were humanoid (92.3%), with 46.2% female and 32.1% male. Female avatars commonly featured coy gazes (75%), exaggerated features (36.8%), and revealing clothing (50%). Male avatars commonly depicted baggy clothing (35%), obscured eyes (33%), and action figures or weapons (40%). Both genders used combination avatars. Unknown gender and non-human avatars mirrored male categories. The findings suggest avatars represent ritualized gender roles and ideals, with females emphasizing submission and males emphasizing masculinity and anonymity.
Managing the flamingo: Politeness in an adolescent chatroom
This study examines politeness in adolescent chatrooms with and without moderation. The researcher analyzed chatroom transcripts using computer-mediated discourse analysis and a coding scheme to identify instances of positive and negative politeness, as well as violations. Preliminary findings showed chatrooms with a moderator trended toward more violations of positive politeness, while unmoderated chatrooms trended toward more violations of negative politeness. Channel offenses were high across all samples. Further research is needed to confirm the findings with more data and examine potential gender impacts.
