Emoji are now ubiquitous in our interactions on social media. But
how do we use them to convey meaning? And how do they function in
social bonding? This unique book provides a comprehensive framework
for analysing how emoji contribute to meaning-making in social
media discourse, alongside language. Presenting emoji as a visual
paralanguage, it features extensive worked examples of emoji
analysis, using corpora derived from social media such as Twitter
and TikTok, to explore how emoji interact with their linguistic
co-text. It also draws on the author's extensive work on social
media affiliation to consider how emoji function in social bonding.
The framework for analysing emoji is explained in an accessible
way, and a glossary is included, detailing each system and feature
from the system networks used as the schemas for undertaking the
analysis. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to investigate
the role of emoji in digital communication.
This book analyses the Youth Justice Conferencing Program in New
South Wales, Australia. Exploring this form of diversionary justice
from the perspectives of functional linguistics and performance
studies, the authors combine close textual analysis with
ethnographic research methodologies. They examine how participants
use the discourse semantic resources available to them to achieve
such outcomes as reparation for the victim, reintegration of the
offender into the community, and reconciliation between the various
parties. This uniquely-researched work is sure to be of interest to
students and scholars of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and
discourse analysis.

Bringing together leading and emerging scholars in Systemic
Functional Linguistics, this book explores the contributions made
to SFL theory by James Robert Martin. A leading light in the field
for 40 years, this book reviews, explores and develops the
theoretical agendas set out in his momentous body of work. Focussed
around the four themes of systemic functional theory, linguistic
typology, educational linguistics and (positive) discourse
analysis, chapters debate and develop the key concepts of Martin's
work. Engaging with cutting edge theoretical debates in areas such
as discourse-semantics, register and genre and affiliation,
Discourses of Hope and Reconciliation examines Martin's lasting
impact on the field, developing his momentous contributions to
point the way to exciting future research directions in SFL.
This book is the first comprehensive account of 'body language' as
'paralanguage' informed by Systemic Functional Semiotics (SFS). It
brings together the collaborative work of internationally renowned
academics and emerging scholars to offer a fresh linguistic
perspective on gesture, body orientation, body movement, facial
expression and voice quality resources that support all spoken
language. The authors create a framework for distinguishing
non-semiotic behaviour from paralanguage, and provide a
comprehensive modelling of paralanguage in each of the three
metafunctions of meaning (ideational, interpersonal and textual).
Illustrations of the application of this new model for multimodal
discourse analysis draw on a range of contexts, from social media
vlogs, to animated children's narratives, to face-to-face teaching.
Modelling Paralanguage Using Systemic Functional Semiotics offers
an innovative way for dealing with culture-specific and context
specific paralanguage.

Professional Linguistics is an emergent area of study within
applied linguistics, using discourse analysis to assist people
working in professional domains. This book examines tacit knowledge
- that expertise that is considered to be lost when skilled
practitioners leave an institution. Traditionally it has been
argued that some aspects practical knowledge cannot be articulated.
However, the premise of Polyani's theory of Tacit Knowing ("we know
more than we can tell") does not account for latent patterns that
linguists can uncover in spoken language. Understanding these
discourse patterns provides a way to explore the assumptions people
invoke, but do not make explicit in their work and working
relationships. This book demonstrates an interview method grounded
in systemic functional linguistics that probes the spoken discourse
of IT professionals, through three field studies with actual
corporations. It argues that 'we tell more than we know' and this
'telling more' resides in the taken-as-given patters of grammar and
semantics, making meaning in ways which speakers themselves may not
be attuned to.

Metadata such as the hashtag is an important dimension of social
media communication. Despite its important role in practices such
as curating, tagging, and searching content, there has been little
research into how meanings are made with social metadata. This book
considers how hashtags have expanded their reach from an
information-locating resource to an interpersonal resource for
coordinating social relationships and expressing solidarity,
affinity, and affiliation. It adopts a social semiotic perspective
to investigate the communicative functions of hashtags in relation
to both language and images. This book is a follow up to
Zappavigna's 2012 model of ambient affiliation, providing an
extended analytical framework for exploring how affiliation occurs,
bond by bond, in online discourse. It focuses in particular on the
communing function of hashtags in metacommentary and ridicule,
using recent Twitter discourse about US President Donald Trump as a
case study. It is essential reading for researchers as well as
undergraduates studying social media on any academic course.
Social media such as microblogging services and social networking
sites are changing the way people interact online and search for
information and opinions. This book investigates linguistic
patterns in electronic discourse,looking at online evaluative
language, Internet slang, memes and ambient affiliation using a
large Twitter corpus (over 100 million tweets) alongside
specialized case studies. The author argues that we are currently
witnessing a cultural movement from online conversation to what can
be termed 'searchable talk' - online talk where people affiliate by
making their discourse findable (for example, via metadata such as
Twitter hashtags) by others holding similar interests. This cutting
edge text will be of interest to all scholars and students dealing
with electronically mediated discourse.
