This collection explores the rise of feedback as a discursive practice in everyday life, examining diverse genres and sociocultural contexts.

The volume puts a focus on the “how” of feedback in a range of contexts and communicative settings. Genres examined include performance reviews and online consumer evaluations on such networked spaces as YouTube, Twitter, MOOCs, TripAdvisor, and Meituan, as well as other corporate contexts. Chapters also emphasize cross-cultural and cross-linguistic perspectives by highlighting data from seven different languages. The range of settings, languages, and formats allows for engagement in key questions around feedback as a sociocultural activity with ideological dimensions, such as the construction of authority in feedback, linguistic and cultural differences, and the role of social and economic factors.

This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in discourse analysis, professional communication, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and digital media.

This edited book addresses current trends in digital discourse analysis. The central theme of the volume is the notion of ‘digital experiences’; in other words, how users rely on mediating technologies both to communicate and bond with others, and to organize themselves for joint action. The chapters are grouped into three overarching themes: user engagement, multimodal communication, and online activism. Topics covered include memetic and multimodal humor on the internet, sticker use on WeChat, language ideology debates on YouTube, covert communication in QAnon forums, COVID narratives on Korean vlogs, and political activism on Twitter, among others. The book will be of interest to scholars in the broadly defined field of digital discourse analysis. It will be relevant to linguists, social media researchers, communication scholars, and media and cultural studies specialists.
