... We undertake the analysis of body language presented here not only because the meanings negotiated in a conference cannot be fully interpreted on the basis of one modality alone, but because body language gives us an important insight into the bonding process flagged by Knight (2010). The model of body language that we have used in this study arose out of previous work investigating the co-patterning of gesture and phonological structure, viewed as sibling systems on language's expression plane (Zappavigna et al. 2009). Analysis of body language is a new region in SFL-based multimodal discourse analysis, although it is relatively well established in other disciplines such as anthropology and cognitive science (Efron 1941;Morris 1979;McNeill 1992;Goldin-Meadow and Singer 2003;Kendon 2004). ...

... Conferences open with a genre we refer to as the socio-legal framing, whose overall function is to establish agreement with respect to the conduct of the macro-genre. Based on analysis of the eight conferences we transcribed and considered in detail, we propose the following stages for this genre -along with a brief characterisation of their function Dwyer 2007a, 2009;Zappavigna, Dwyer and Martin 2015 Stages typically unfold in the sequence listed above, although both the Goal Affirmation and Protocol Setting stages may occur more than once, and are more flexible than other stages in terms of where they appear. We will not go into the details and challenges of formalising a structural representation of this staging here (for further discussion, see Zappavigna and Martin in press). ...

... The SFL focus on semantics and paradigmatic relations, key language properties, has proven highly effective as a foundation for practical applications in linguistic analysis for forensic purposes, providing evidence of meaning-making and semantic patterning (e.g. Nini and Grant, 2013;Zappavigna et al., 2008). Given the emphasis on interpersonal evaluative meanings in this study, the Appraisal framework (Martin and White, 2005) is used. ...

... Identity in digital communication concerns the way individuals establish and articulate their personal and group affiliations in online environments. In the context of digital communication, identity is not a static concept but is constantly negotiated, performed, and transformed through interactions with others and the digital environment Ju & Sandel, 2018;Mao & Zhao, 2018;Martin et al., 2013;Wang & Picone, 2022). Digital media platforms, such as social media, messaging apps, and online forums, serve as avenues for individuals to express their identities, share their experiences, and connect with others. ...
