The emergence of social networking sites, like Facebook, and
people's engagement with one another through them is a relatively
under-researched area for discourse analysis. The content of the
book revolves around Discourse Topic Management which is under the
theme of Discourse Analysis. It is written to extend the very
limited literature in the area of Discourse Topic, especially for
the discourse which takes place on social networking sites. This
study discusses the characteristics of topical actions employed by
English language teachers and their Facebook Friends in managing
supportive conversations which take place on Timelines. In addition
to employing new strategies, enabled by the particular features of
the site, the teachers and their Friends also creatively adapt the
strategies used in face-to-face conversations to manage their
online conversations, thus contributing to the emergence of unique
characteristics of discourse topic management in the context of
social networking sites. The book brings together the existing
frameworks of Discourse Topic Management, which are previously
applied in the context of face-to-face conversations, and
synthesizes the frameworks for a more comprehensive model into
examining the conversations which take place on Facebook Timelines.
The novelty of this book lies in its synthesized framework, the
recontextualization of the framework for online conversations and
the theoretical extension based on the data analysis presented in
each chapter. Since people's engagement with social networking
sites is an emerging behaviour, this timely book provides insights
into the phenomenon and also proposes a comprehensive analytical
framework for other researchers interested in similar contexts.
