This volume takes the reader on an exploration in the dynamics underlying digital interaction. The chapters investigate the ways in which individuals shape and interpret intentions, construct identities, and engage in interpersonal exchanges. Online platforms from forums and Wikipedia to Periscope, YouTube and WhatsApp are approached with multiface...
The shift to service and gig economy and increasing polymediality have created communicative contexts where the workers have to construct varying social relations in different kinds of digital and text-based interaction environments. This article examines how transprofessional collaboration is managed in such contexts in the field of applied arts....
In this article, we consider a fundamental but so far little-investigated area of crisis communication: Easy Language journalism and public communication. Specifically, we focus on Easy Finnish material related to the Covid-19 pandemic. By adopting a Discourse Analytic perspective, we look at the ways in which the pandemic is constructed as a crisi...
This book offers a collection of state-of-the-art conversation analytic work on the impact of different types of digital technologies and media on social interaction. It furthers our understanding of whether and to what extent the varying practices of digital interaction can be considered adaptations of the basic organisations and resources of co-p...
This chapter investigates the use of positive assessments and expressions
of thanks in video-mediated workshops, and the way and extent to which
the technological context is made relevant in the accomplishment of these
actions. Specifically, we focus on how the co-located workshop hosts
respond to the remote attendees’ exercise performances and oth...

Arvioitu teos Vesa Heikkinen: Tekstianalyysi. Miksi kielellisillä vallinnoilla on merkitystä? Helsinki: Gaudeamus 2020. 352 s. isbn 978-952-345-080-6.
This article examines multimodal storytelling performed outside the main body text in book-length popular science. By employing a case study approach, the study examines three kinds of visually detached stories: i) fragmentary case stories of lay experience, ii) fictional stories of prehistorical lifeworld and iii) scientists’ personal stories with...
As smartphones have become an integral part of the everyday life of many, we have seen a proliferation of private messaging groups in mobile apps such as WhatsApp. One characteristic of group messaging is the constant presence of multiple simultaneous lines of talk – even more so than in the dyadic mode. In this article, we explore the linguistic a...
Kirja-arvioista harvemmin kirjoitetaan tällä palstalla, vaikka niitä julkaistaan Virittäjässä vuosittain enemmän kuin varsinaisia ”päätuotteita” eli tutkimusartikkeleita. Osaa kirja-arvioista voi kuitenkin pitää fennistisiltä vaikutuksiltaan yhtä merkittävinä kuin arvioituja teoksia. Esimerkkeinä voi mainita vaikkapa Heikki Paunosen laajan esittely...
Tarkastelen kirjoituksessani sitä, kuinka tutkijoiden tietokirjoihin upotetuissa matkakertomuksissa rakennetaan tutkijan, erityisesti tutkimusmatkailijan, julkista persoonaa ja edelleen tiedeyhteisön ulkopuolelle suunnattua kuvaa siitä, mitä tutkimusmatkailu ruohonjuuritasolta koettuna on. Perehdyn varsinkin siihen, kuinka kertomuksissa työstetään...
Tässä numerossa tarkastelun kohteena ovat paitsi erilaisten suomen kielen ilmiöiden käyttö myös niiden kuvaustavat ja käytön mittaamisen menetelmät. Hannele Forsberg analysoi artikkelissaan paheksuntaimperatiiviksi nimeämäänsä kiteytynyttä rakennetta. Mari Hongon, Scott Jarvisin ja Seppo Vainion kiinnostus kohdistuu leksikaalisen diversiteetin arvi...
Hankkeemme Tiedonkerronta. Esitystavat ja tekijän läsnäolo kotimaisessa tieto kirjallisuudessa on kotimaisen nykytietokirjallisuuden perustutkimusta: pureudumme tekijyyden ja yleistajuistamisen kysymyksiin sekä luomme yleiskuvaa tietokirjoille ominaisista esitystavoista. Lähestymme tietokirjoja sosiaalisena toimintana ja retorisena vuorovaikutukse...
This paper demonstrates how two approaches from discourse studies – digital Conversation Analysis (CA) and Textual Interaction Studies (TIS) – can be used in tandem to analyse asynchronous written conversation. The main motivation for this mixed-methods approach is our observation that interaction in many asynchronous platforms, such as blogs and d...
