Summary:

The use of Discourse Analysis (DA) applied to online data is increasingly popular as a way of studying how people interact and communicate via online, or digital, platforms. This How-to Guide provides an introduction to what Online Discourse Analysis (ODA) is, how traditional DA has been applied to a wide range of online sites and interactions, and what new challenges and possibilities this has brought to our understanding of human communication and behaviour. This guide explains what types of online platform are suitable for ODA, how to choose what sort of digital site to study and what sort of topic to research using ODA. Practicalities such as how to collect and store online data, ethical issues to consider, and methodological challenges are all briefly covered. The guide concludes with a few suggestions about how to actually start doing ODA on your selected data.
