METADISCOURSE IN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION: NEW RESEARCH, APPROACHES AND METHODOLOGIES

Roxanne H. Padley

Abstract


Abstract

The domain of metadiscourse and digital communication is ever evolving, providing an increasing number of communicative contexts in which new and developing research methods can be applied. Roxanne H. Padley offers a gleaming review of the very timely work entitled Metadiscourse in Digital Communication: New research, Approaches and Methodologies edited by Larissa D’Angelo, Anna Mauranen and Stefania Maci, published by Palgrave Macmillan. The review provides a general overview of the volume’s objectives and theoretical grounding as well as critically analysing the individual contributions and their relevance to the various emerging fields of investigation. The volume covers a mixed selection of topics ranging from communication of academic meaning to online sources such as blogs and vlogs as well as investigating graphical scientific abstracts, advertisements and social media. Padley concludes that the strength of this volume is the way in which it offers an innovative approach to research avenues in metadiscourse.
