Large Language Models demonstrate considerable fluency in human discourse. Despite their potentially transformative impact, their limits and capabilities are yet to be discovered. To mitigate potential harm and harness their potential for the benefit of society, it is important to understand their capabilities in human–machine interaction. To address this challenge, we present results from a pilot study involving rock climbers and ChatGPT-4. In our Task-Specific Turing Test, expert group members ask any question they believe will distinguish between the machine and a fellow member. The paper employs a perspective which focuses on expert discourses of social groups and their linguistic competence in expressing and demonstrating their expertise. Results show that ChatGPT is successful in passing as a rock climber in several areas of discourse but (still) falls short in one area. Experiential knowledge – in particular, embodiment – proved a revealing distinction between human and machine. We conclude by emphasizing that the language skills displayed by LLMs ultimately stems from human-AI ensembles.

大型语言模型在人类话语中表现出相当大的流畅性。尽管它们具有潜在的变革性影响，但它们的局限性和能力尚未被发现。为了减轻潜在的危害并利用它们的潜力为社会造福，了解它们在人机交互中的能力是很重要的。为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了一项涉及攀岩者和ChatGPT-4的试点研究的结果。在我们的特定任务图灵测试中，专家组成员会问任何他们认为可以区分机器和其他成员的问题。本文采用了一个视角，重点关注社会群体的专家话语及其表达和展示其专业知识的语言能力。结果表明，ChatGPT在几个话语领域成功地通过了攀岩者的考试，但（仍然）在一个领域有所不足。经验知识——尤其是具体化——证明了人类和机器之间的明显区别。我们最后强调，法学硕士所展示的语言技能最终源于人类与人工智能的结合。

Shuang Gao, Paul Cooper

This paper explores the strategic manipulation of indexicality for fame-making in algorithmic media. It presents a case study of a precariat’s rise to fame, focusing on how he turned the tide to officially become a ‘superstar’ on the Chinese video-sharing app Douyin as viewers shamed him for his allegedly unintelligible language. Drawing upon the sociolinguistic notions of indexicality, enregisterment, stance, and the concepts of platformisation and algorithmic self in media studies, we show that the shift from shame to fame was enabled by his algorithmic awareness, metapragmatic reflexivity, and strategic contextualisation of linguistic persona. Also, these self-presentation strategies are deeply embedded in the political economy of new media, especially nationalism underlying Douyin’s ‘New Farmer Initiative’. By locating fame at the nexus of language, technology, and political economy, this paper reveals the close links between media algorithms and state ideologies and has implications for understanding enregisterment and self-presentation in algorithmic media.

本文探讨了算法媒体中成名的索引性策略操纵。它展示了一个无业游民成名的案例研究，重点讲述了他是如何扭转潮流，在中国视频分享应用抖音上正式成为“超级明星”的，而观众却因他据称听不懂的语言而羞辱他。利用社会语言学的指数性、注册、立场以及媒体研究中的平台化和算法自我概念，我们表明，从羞耻到名声的转变是由他的算法意识、元语用反身性和语言人格的战略语境化实现的。此外，这些自我呈现策略深深植根于新媒体的政治经济中，尤其是抖音“新农民倡议”背后的民族主义。通过将名声定位于语言、技术和政治经济的联系，本文揭示了媒体算法与国家意识形态之间的密切联系，并对理解算法媒体中的注册和自我呈现具有启示意义。

The aim of this study is twofold. On the one hand, it investigates what possibilities there are to find open online support discussions for Finland-Swedish family care partners of people living with dementia. On the other hand, it analyzes how support is expressed in those open discussions that can be found. The data of the study consist of two subsets: web pages and social media accounts of dementia care providers and Swedish-language media in Finland especially, and nine open Facebook threads with discussions on dementia expressing support to family care partners of people living with dementia. The first dataset is analyzed utilizing a passive nethnographic method. Focusing on expressions of emphatic communication, the second dataset is analyzed using content analysis and coded with the mixed methods software MAXQDA. As the results show, it is difficult to find open online channels for support discussions on dementia in Swedish in Finland. At the same time, the discussions that can be found convey how important they are to those participating in them. The availability of open online support discourses provides additional comfort and help to those living with dementia and their care partners. Online support discussions are thus important per se, irrespective of the fact that offline services are provided fully and sufficiently also in Swedish in Finland.

这项研究的目的是双重的。一方面，它调查了是否有可能为芬兰和瑞典的痴呆症患者家庭护理伙伴找到公开的在线支持讨论。另一方面，它分析了在那些可以找到的公开讨论中如何表达支持。该研究的数据包括两个子集：痴呆症护理提供者的网页和社交媒体账户，尤其是芬兰的瑞典语媒体，以及9个开放的Facebook线程，讨论痴呆症，表达对痴呆症患者的家庭护理伙伴的支持。第一个数据集是利用被动气象学方法进行分析的。针对重点交流的表达，采用内容分析法对第二数据集进行分析，并用混合方法软件MAXQDA进行编码。结果表明，在芬兰很难找到开放的在线渠道来支持用瑞典语讨论痴呆症。与此同时，可以找到的讨论传达了它们对参与者的重要性。开放的在线支持课程为痴呆症患者及其护理伙伴提供了额外的安慰和帮助。因此，在线支持讨论本身就很重要，尽管芬兰的瑞典语也提供了充分和充分的离线服务。

Understanding the dynamics of online discourse is crucial for dealing with disinformation, radicalisation and hate speech. However, there are few formal models of how commenters orient their messages to each other to create online discourse. We introduce the concept of a ‘discourse space’—a novel conceptual framework that serves as an abstract meta-representation of discourse. It provides an opportunity to quantify discourse and explore its dynamics by leveraging a range of possible discourse strategies, spanning four key aspects: cohesion, attitude, logic quality and coherence. With this view, discourse strategies emerge as generalised techniques for linguistically shaping thoughts based on the social context. To construct an empirical space from real data, 1,684 message pairs from 50 YouTube video comment sections were tagged for 25 discourse strategies. Using an advanced dimension-reduction method (t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding, t-SNE), we demonstrate that a systematic discourse space can be constructed from the data. Specifically, the relations between individual social media messages can be positioned within the discourse space and that messages which attempt to derail the discourse occupy a specific part of this space. Furthermore, there are distinct patterns of discourse derailment within this discourse space that an automatic system could detect.

了解网络话语的动态对于处理虚假信息、激进化和仇恨言论至关重要。然而，很少有正式的模型来说明评论者如何将他们的信息定向到彼此之间以创建在线话语。我们引入了“话语空间”的概念——一个作为话语抽象元表征的新概念框架。它提供了一个机会，通过利用一系列可能的话语策略来量化话语并探索其动态，这些策略涵盖四个关键方面：衔接、态度、逻辑质量和连贯。根据这一观点，话语策略作为基于社会语境的语言塑造思想的一般技术而出现。为了从真实数据中构建经验空间，我们对来自50个YouTube视频评论区的1,684条消息对进行了25种话语策略的标记。使用一种先进的降维方法（t分布随机邻居嵌入，t-SNE），我们证明了可以从数据中构建系统的话语空间。具体来说，个体社交媒体信息之间的关系可以定位在话语空间中，试图使话语脱轨的信息占据了这个空间的特定部分。此外，在这个话语空间中存在着自动系统可以检测到的话语脱轨的不同模式。

Recognizing the key role of knowledge dissemination in socio-economic progress, The Conversation is a news website intended to promote the public understanding of science. When using this platform to disseminate their own findings, scholars need to recontextualize their published research to make it suitable for a wide audience. However, despite the potential of this website for improving science literacy, there is little research on the strategies used to render scientific knowledge comprehensible for the general audience. This article studies the recontextualization strategies that researchers utilize to facilitate understanding when reporting their own research in The Conversation. For this purpose, we analyze a dataset consisting of 50 Environment articles. Adopting a multimodal perspective, we propose an analytical framework that can account for the various semiotic resources employed to aid comprehensibility. We analyze the frequency, function and formal features of the following elements that facilitate understanding: (i) verbal in-text elaboration (exemplification, reformulation, definition, analogy and explicitation); (ii) visuals; and (iii) hyperlinks to supplementary information. The results show that the technological features of The Conversation (e.g., hyperlinking, multimodal embedding) shape how researchers adapt and reframe their discourse, enabling a distinctive form of knowledge dissemination. Through this analysis, we aim to shed light on the multimodal recontextualization strategies that facilitate effective knowledge dissemination in science news websites.

认识到知识传播在社会经济进步中的关键作用，“对话”是一个旨在促进公众对科学理解的新闻网站。在利用这个平台传播自己的发现时，学者们需要将他们发表的研究重新置于背景中，使其适合广泛的受众。然而，尽管这个网站在提高科学素养方面具有潜力，但关于如何使科学知识为普通受众所理解的策略的研究却很少。本文研究了研究人员在《对话》中报道自己的研究时使用的重新语境化策略，以促进理解。为此，我们分析一个由50篇Environment文章组成的数据集。采用多模态的观点，我们提出了一个分析框架，可以解释用于帮助理解的各种符号学资源。我们分析了以下有助于理解的要素的频率、功能和形式特征：(i)口头文本阐述（举例、重新表述、定义、类比和说明）；(2)视觉效果;（iii）补充信息的超链接。研究结果表明，对话的技术特征（如超链接、多模态嵌入）决定了研究人员如何调整和重新构建他们的话语，从而实现了一种独特的知识传播形式。通过这一分析，我们旨在揭示促进科学新闻网站知识有效传播的多模式再语境化策略。

Digitally mediated communication has not only transformed the ways in which information is created, shared, and consumed, but it also has increased ordinary internet users’ understanding of and reflection on language and its use in the real world. Investigating the observable online interactions on social media platforms can shed light on sociolinguistic realities of language including the complexity and fluidity of everyday linguistic forms and communicative contexts. Drawing on mediated discourse analysis, this study explores the process of metapragmatic meaning making in a viral YouTube video from the channel “English with Lucy” that focuses on teaching English to speakers of other languages. In the video the channel host presents sociopragmatic knowledge and tips about appropriate responses to the speech act of thanking drawing on mediational means such as language (e.g., intonation, degrees of formality), social actors, communication contexts, and age in explaining different ways of responding to thanks. The metapragmatic commentary reveals alternative responses demonstrating variation across temporal, spatial and personal dimensions. The findings highlight the intricate nexus of divergent and shared metapragmatic repertoires associated with a simple everyday language form and the role of social media in mediating interactions between translocal content creators and their followers.

数字媒介传播不仅改变了信息的创造、共享和消费方式，也增加了普通互联网用户对语言及其在现实世界中的使用的理解和反思。调查社交媒体平台上可观察到的在线互动可以揭示语言的社会语言学现实，包括日常语言形式和交际环境的复杂性和流动性。利用中介语篇分析，本研究探讨了YouTube上一个名为“English with Lucy”的视频的元语用意义生成过程，该视频的重点是向其他语言的人教授英语。在视频中，频道主持人介绍了社会语用学知识和技巧，通过语言（如语调、正式程度）、社会行为者、交流背景和年龄等中介手段，来解释不同的感谢回应方式。元语用评论揭示了不同的反应，展示了时间、空间和个人维度的变化。研究结果强调了与简单的日常语言形式相关的不同和共享的元语用谱之间的复杂联系，以及社交媒体在跨地域内容创作者与其追随者之间调解互动中的作用。

Caring for a loved one with dementia is an emotionally and physically demanding experience, often leaving caregivers feeling isolated and overwhelmed. On the dementia-related subreddit r/Dx, discussions of death are frequent and central, particularly among the most engaged posts. While death and loss are often perceived taboo in offline discourse, caregivers express faceted thoughts related to the topic in this digitally mediated discourse, finding empathy and understanding from the other users in return. This study analyzes the discursive construction of death-related experience through the lens of deictic and non-deictic reference. Drawing from 100 top-voted Reddit threads, the analysis explores how users employ personal, spatial, and temporal references to position themselves, navigate their caregiving role at the online-offline nexus and negotiate their roles within the community after the death of the person cared for. While death marks the end of the offline care role, it also alters the care partner’s role in the online sphere, either marking the user’s exit from the community, or contrarily emphasizing the continued involvement therein. Consequently, these posts serve as a basis for discussing the nature of the subreddit as a digital Community of Practice (CofP) exploring the bonds that tie individuals to this digital CofP post-loss.

照顾患有痴呆症的亲人是一项在情感和身体上都很费力的经历，往往会让照顾者感到孤立和不堪重负。在与痴呆症相关的reddit r/Dx版块上，关于死亡的讨论是频繁和核心的，尤其是在最活跃的帖子中。虽然死亡和失去通常被视为离线话语中的禁忌，但护理人员在这种数字媒介话语中表达与主题相关的多方面想法，并从其他用户那里获得同情和理解。本研究透过指示性与非指示性指称的视角，分析死亡相关经验的话语建构。从100个投票最多的Reddit帖子中，该分析探讨了用户如何利用个人、空间和时间参考来定位自己，定位他们在线上线下关系中的照顾角色，以及在被照顾者去世后他们在社区中的角色。虽然死亡标志着线下护理角色的结束，但它也改变了护理伙伴在在线领域的角色，要么标志着用户退出社区，要么相反地强调继续参与其中。因此，这些帖子作为讨论reddit作为数字实践社区（CofP）的本质的基础，探索将个人与这个数字CofP联系在一起的纽带。

To increase the opportunity to educate caregivers for persons with dementia, particularly the nearly 40% of migrant healthcare workers emigrating to the US, we have chosen an adaptation of graphic medicine as a means of presenting these workers with conversations about dementia care in two formats of ‘mini-comics’: photo-based and cartoon. Graphic medicine, a part of narrative medicine, uses or creates comics to explore medical issues which have often been experienced by their authors. Each full set of caregiver guides comprises twenty short, mediated dialogues between caregivers about frequently occurring issues in early and mid-stage dementia communications. These are sets of vignettes involving actions, activities and artifacts that suggest a range of relationships. This study first provides a brief background to current and increasingly popular graphic medicine practices and their implementation into digital discourses and then examines in more detail our efforts to develop materials for multilingual direct care workers in the US, including current assessments of their impact in helping family and professional caregivers to communicate with their care recipients, the people living with dementia.

为了增加教育痴呆症患者护理人员的机会，特别是近40%移民到美国的移民医疗工作者，我们选择了一种图形医学的改编，作为一种手段，以两种“迷你漫画”的形式向这些工作者展示痴呆症护理的对话：基于照片和卡通。图像医学是叙事医学的一部分，它使用或创作漫画来探索作者经常经历的医学问题。每套完整的护理人员指南包括20个简短的，调解的护理人员之间关于早期和中期痴呆症交流中经常发生的问题的对话。这些是一组涉及动作、活动和工件的小插曲，表明了一系列关系。本研究首先提供了当前和日益流行的图形医学实践及其在数字话语中的实施的简要背景，然后更详细地检查了我们为美国多语言直接护理工作者开发材料的努力，包括当前评估它们在帮助家庭和专业护理人员与他们的护理对象（痴呆症患者）沟通方面的影响。

This study first provides a brief background to current and increasingly popular graphic medicine practices and their implementation into digital discourses and then examines in more detail our efforts to develop materials for multilingual direct care workers in the US, including current assessments of their impact in helping family and professional caregivers to communicate with their care recipients, the people living with dementia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 100916"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
