Digitale Methoden und Werkzeuge für Diskursanalysen am Beispiel der Wikipedia

Abstract

As a relatively new discipline in linguistics, discourse linguistics, in the tradition of Foucault, explores how social realities are constructed in transtextual units. Until now, texts from digital media sources have been barely acknowledged. The goal of this paper is to expand the inventory of methods for discourse analysis in two directions using the example of Wikipedia. First, specific categories for the analysis of discourse in digital media will be described systematically. Second, existing approaches in the field of corpus linguistics and digital methods will be described, keeping in mind the requirements of digital discourse analysis, in order to include them in a methodology for digital discourse analysis.
