There is increasing emphasis on the importance of knowledge mobilisation, also known as knowledge translation, knowledge exchange, knowledge transfer, so that research findings are moved into action by stakeholders such as policymakers, practitioners and the broader public. While disseminating one’s research digitally is a promising gateway for knowledge produced to have a greater reach, education researchers are least equipped to use digital methods, compared to other methods. Applying Bernstein’s (2000) concept of recontextualisation with a proposed KM framework, we examine how the discourses of research are selectively appropriated, relocated, refocused and related to the discourse of practice through the translational process in one case study of a project website featuring education research within the Singapore context. Principles for successful recontextualisation drawn from this case study include: (1) educated hunches about key ideas for practical translation, (2) familiarity with specific audience needs, (3) awareness of discourse rules for engagement through specific digital modes. This article contributes towards demonstrating the value and productivity of Bernstein’s (2000) recontextualisation on research via digital media to engage varied audiences beyond the academia. The article concludes with recommendations on the systemic support needed to help researchers build a repertoire of practice for the translational process with the ultimate goal of moving evidence into action.

人们越来越强调知识动员的重要性，也被称为知识转化、知识交流、知识转移，以便研究成果被决策者、从业者和更广泛的公众等利益相关者转化为行动。虽然以数字方式传播一个人的研究成果是使所产生的知识更广泛传播的一个有希望的途径，但与其他方法相比，教育研究人员最不具备使用数字方法的能力。运用Bernstein（2000）提出的知识管理框架的重新语境化概念，我们在新加坡背景下的一个以教育研究为特色的项目网站的一个案例研究中，通过翻译过程，研究研究话语是如何被选择性地挪用、重新定位、重新聚焦并与实践话语相关的。从本案例研究中得出的成功再语境化的原则包括：(1)对实际翻译的关键思想有良好的预感；(2)熟悉特定的受众需求；(3)意识到通过特定的数字模式参与的话语规则。本文有助于展示伯恩斯坦（2000）通过数字媒体重新语境化研究的价值和生产力，以吸引学术界以外的各种受众。文章最后提出了系统支持的建议，以帮助研究人员为转化过程建立一个实践库，最终目标是将证据转化为行动。

Hyperlinks in blog posts play an important role in supporting and legitimising the claims made by bloggers, particularly on sites associated with polarisation, extremism and echo chambers. Links containing discursive elements and which are embedded as part of the text – known as anchor text – have, as yet, remained underexplored as a discourse strategy in epistemic positioning and studies on legitimisation. This paper draws on Hart’s (2011) work on subjectification and objectification categories of epistemic positioning to examine how anchor text hyperlinks in a corpus of blog posts, written by bloggers associated with the Alternative Right (Alt-Right) and Men’s Rights Activists, are used to substantiate claims related to sexual violence against women. The results of the study show a lack of transparency in the claims supported through anchor text, which I argue, can be considered a quasi-objectification category of epistemic legitimisation in the hypertexts in the dataset. The study employs a cognitive linguistic approach to examine evidentiality in the anchor text and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the ways assertions are legitimised in polarising texts online.

博客文章中的超链接在支持博客作者的主张和使其合法化方面发挥了重要作用，特别是在与两极分化、极端主义和回音室有关的网站上。包含话语元素的链接，作为文本的一部分嵌入，被称为锚文本，迄今为止，作为一种话语策略，在认知定位和合法化研究中仍未得到充分的探索。本文利用Hart（2011）关于认知定位的主体化和客体化类别的研究，研究了与另类权利（Alt-Right）和男性权利活动家相关的博主撰写的博客文章语料库中的锚文本超链接如何被用来证实与针对女性的性暴力有关的主张。研究结果表明，通过锚文本支持的主张缺乏透明度，我认为，锚文本可以被认为是数据集中超文本中认知合法化的准客观化类别。该研究采用认知语言学方法来检查锚文本中的证据性，并有助于更细致地理解断言在网上两极分化文本中合法化的方式。

This study investigates online speakers’ positioning practices against the backdrop of complex social networks presented in their sharing of personal experiences. It leverages the power of large language models (LLMs), complex social network analysis, and discourse analysis to analyse 154 online posts extracted from a Chinese social media platform. The findings reveal that online sharing of personal experiences in Chinese involves an average of six characters of a social network. The speakers are inclined to present in-group social networks rather than out-groups. More interestingly, Chinese online speakers embed themselves deeply in the in-group social network and, at times, speak as part of the group voice. They position themselves and their in-groups as powerless and unsuccessful ordinary people when sharing experiences. The positioning practices serve as an audience design to engage the broad online audiences, who, interestingly, take a participatory role in the shared experiences. By moving beyond the traditionally examined speaker-hearer dyads, this study advances our understanding of the intricate positioning practices in online sharing discourses.

本研究调查了在线讲话者在分享个人经历时所呈现的复杂社会网络背景下的定位实践。它利用大型语言模型（llm）、复杂社会网络分析和话语分析的力量，分析了从中国社交媒体平台提取的154个在线帖子。研究结果显示，用中文在线分享个人经历平均涉及一个社交网络的6个字符。演讲者倾向于展示群体内的社会网络而不是群体外的社会网络。更有趣的是，中国网民将自己深深嵌入到群体内的社交网络中，有时，他们会作为群体声音的一部分发言。在分享经历时，他们把自己和自己的圈子定位为无能为力和不成功的普通人。定位实践作为一种受众设计，以吸引广泛的在线受众，有趣的是，他们在共享体验中扮演了参与性角色。通过超越传统的说者-听者二元关系，本研究促进了我们对在线分享话语中复杂的定位实践的理解。

In this paper, we explore the intersection of natural health, masculinity, and far-right content creators in folkish Instagram to understand how far-right discourses not only euphemize and normalize through lifestyle content but create identities which seem desirable for participants. We do this by closely analyzing usernames and bios on Instagram, extending work which has focused on the visual element to more closely explore the creation of user personae with a both visual and textual elements. This paper draws on both a digital ethnography of 862 Instagram accounts and a critical mixed method analysis of 806 Instagram usernames and biographies. Our analysis of content and digital onomastics shows how terms from nature and health are used to create a positive image of whiteness in three steps: first to euphemize racist content as “white positive”, second it uses natural lifestyle and masculinity to build up “white positive content”. Finally, discourses of whiteness as natural and desirable are taken up in heroic personae by these users and demonstrated in their bios and usernames.

在本文中，我们探讨了民俗Instagram中自然健康、男性气质和极右翼内容创作者的交集，以了解极右翼话语如何不仅通过生活方式内容委婉化和正常化，而且还创造了参与者似乎想要的身份。我们通过仔细分析Instagram上的用户名和bios来做到这一点，扩展了专注于视觉元素的工作，以更密切地探索具有视觉和文本元素的用户角色的创建。本文借鉴了862个Instagram账户的数字人种志和806个Instagram用户名和传记的关键混合方法分析。我们对内容和数字术语的分析表明，自然和健康的术语如何被用来分三步创造一个积极的白人形象：首先，将种族主义内容委婉地称为“白人积极”，其次，它利用自然的生活方式和男子气概来建立“白人积极内容”。最后，白人作为自然和可取的话语被这些用户以英雄的身份接受，并在他们的个人简介和用户名中得到证明。

This study examines Bumble’s self-positioning as a feminist dating app through a critical lens that combines theories of disciplinary technologies and governmentality with a neoliberal postfeminist framework. While Bumble markets women’s empowerment through its “first-move” feature, this research investigates how the platform’s 24-hour messaging requirement creates temporal constraints that potentially undermine its stated feminist goals. By analyzing how these time-based features influence user behavior and create additional forms of labor for women—communicative, relational, and postdigital—this study reveals tensions between Bumble’s empowerment claims and its disciplinary mechanisms. The research combines multimodal critical discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches to examine how Bumble’s marketing discourses and interface design construct and reinforce particular notions of gender empowerment while simultaneously subjecting users to new forms of control. This paper contributes to our understanding of how dating platforms serve as sites of engagement where gender, platform design, and social practices converge to normalize certain behaviors within tightly controlled temporal and interactive parameters.

本研究通过将学科技术和治理理论与新自由主义后女权主义框架相结合的批判性视角，考察了Bumble作为女权主义约会应用程序的自我定位。虽然Bumble通过其“第一步”功能推销女性赋权，但这项研究调查了该平台24小时的消息传递要求如何造成时间限制，这可能会破坏其宣称的女权主义目标。通过分析这些基于时间的特征如何影响用户行为，并为女性创造额外的劳动形式——交流、关系和后数字——本研究揭示了Bumble的授权主张与其纪律机制之间的紧张关系。该研究结合了多模态批判性话语分析和民族志方法，研究Bumble的营销话语和界面设计如何构建和强化性别赋权的特定概念，同时使用户受到新的控制形式。这篇论文有助于我们理解约会平台是如何成为社交网站的，在这里，性别、平台设计和社会实践汇聚在一起，在严格控制的时间和互动参数内使某些行为正常化。

Studies have shown that online opinion sharing represents and helps to rebuild members’ awareness of group belonging. However, there is not yet a consensus on the effect of group membership on the discourse of opinion sharing. In light of this, we built two corpora with data from two popular travel websites—Ctrip and Tripadvisor. By conducting a corpus-based discourse analysis, we compared the two platform users’ discourses of opinion sharing, with a focus on stance. To compare, we controlled for members’ language and their evaluative stances. The results show the following: (1) Tripadvisor users generally utilise far more self-mentions than the remaining stance types, whereas Ctrip members highly prefer hedges in sharing opinion; and (2) as a reviewer’s stance changes from positive to negative, the Ctrip members’ probability of utilising boosters and self-mentions tend to increase, and the chance of hedge deployment decreases sharply, while the opposite is true for Tripadvisor users. These findings suggest that netizens’ discourse of opinion sharing varies in accordance with their self-identification, which could partially be related to their group membership and subjective knowledge of reciprocity.

研究表明，网络意见分享代表并有助于重建成员的群体归属感。然而，群体成员对意见分享话语的影响尚未达成共识。鉴于此，我们用两个流行的旅游网站——携程和Tripadvisor的数据建立了两个语料库。通过基于语料库的话语分析，我们比较了两个平台用户的意见分享话语，重点是立场。为了进行比较，我们控制了成员的语言和他们的评价立场。结果表明：(1)Tripadvisor用户普遍使用的自我提及远多于其他立场类型，而携程会员在分享意见时更倾向于模棱两可；(2)当点评者的立场由正面变为负面时，携程会员使用助推器和自我提及的概率趋于增加，使用套期保值的概率急剧下降，而Tripadvisor用户则相反。这些发现表明，网民的意见分享话语随自我认同的不同而不同，这可能与他们的群体成员身份和主观互惠知识有关。

Sharing as informal teaching: Identity construction of an English learner/teacher microcelebrity on Douyin 作为非正式教学的分享：抖音英语学习者/教师微名人的身份建构

Previous research has demonstrated that informal language learning and teaching activities occur through user-generated content on popular video-sharing platforms. As individuals can claim varying degrees of authority in the knowledge they transmit to others, the identity constructions relevant to digital knowledge production represents a topic that demands more scholarly attention from a discursive, social, as well as pedagogical perspective. To address this issue, this paper takes a case study approach to exploring the self-presentation of a popular Tibetan content creator on Douyin, Jiadecang, who shares short English language learning vlogs featuring himself practicing spoken English that are designed to attract followers. Taking a social semiotic approach to the analysis of multimodal discourse (Bezemer and Jewitt, 2025, Kress, 2010, Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006), this study investigates how Jiadecang harnesses various linguistic and other semiotic resources afforded by the platform to engage in public identity construction in his videos. By projecting identities of both learner and “teacher” simultaneously, Jiadecang attracts followers interested in learning English and, at the same time, is protected from potential critiques by others about his “imperfect” English. This study adds to a growing body of research on digital genres, self-branding practices, and influencer cultures.

之前的研究表明，非正式的语言学习和教学活动是通过用户在流行的视频分享平台上生成的内容进行的。由于个人可以在他们传递给他人的知识中声称不同程度的权威，与数字知识生产相关的身份结构代表了一个从话语、社会和教学角度需要更多学术关注的主题。为了解决这个问题，本文采用案例研究的方法来探索抖音上一位受欢迎的藏语内容创作者“加德堂”的自我展示，他分享了自己练习英语口语的短视频，旨在吸引粉丝。本研究采用社会符号学方法分析多模态话语（Bezemer and Jewitt, 2025; Kress, 2010; Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006），研究贾德康如何利用平台提供的各种语言和其他符号学资源，在其视频中参与公共身份建构。通过同时突出学习者和“老师”的身份，嘉德堂吸引了对英语学习感兴趣的追随者，同时也避免了别人对他“不完美”英语的批评。这项研究增加了对数字类型、自我品牌实践和影响者文化的研究。

Due to the apparently chaotic form of live stream interactions and streamers’ central role in holding live stream shows, previous research either sees live stream interactions as disordered or over-emphasizes the role of streamers in mustering the community. This study argues that viewers can also affiliate with co-viewers by performing in bullet curtains. To account for this particular way of affiliation, this study localizes the Ambient Affiliation theory in systemic-functional linguistics with the help of the linguistic-anthropological theory of stage performance. Through the analysis of 50 h’ recording of live stream shows, this paper finds that although the strategies of Ambient Affiliation are still adopted in live stream, the realization of them is different. Instead of addressing potential readers as in other forms of social media, viewers here dialogue with streamers and commune affiliation by performing the ideation-attitude couplings in their dialogical comments on the virtual stage of live stream. The performances targeting couplings brought up by streamers would adjust the dialogical space of these couplings (FINESS), and those targeting couplings in viewers’ bullet curtains would interpersonally foreground an entire coupling (PROMOTE). Viewers may also meta-perform to remind audiences of upcoming performances and in this way attribute couplings to target audiences (CONVOKE). Meanwhile, as viewers need to steal the spotlight of streamers by building their performances on streamers’, not only is stylization employed to invoke more powerful voices so as to compete with streamers, but the resulting logico-semantic dependency also sets constraints on the semantic choices of their performances.

本文提供了观众如何通过子弹幕在直播中交流联系的见解。由于直播互动的混乱形式和主播在举办直播节目中的核心作用，先前的研究要么认为直播互动是无序的，要么过分强调主播在聚集社区中的作用。这项研究认为，观众也可以通过在子弹幕中表演来与共同观众建立联系。为了解释这种特殊的联系方式，本研究借助舞台表演的语言人类学理论，将环境联系理论定位于系统功能语言学。通过对50小时的直播节目记录进行分析，本文发现虽然在直播中仍然采用了Ambient Affiliation策略，但是实现方式有所不同。这里的观众不像其他形式的社交媒体那样与潜在的读者对话，而是通过在直播的虚拟舞台上进行对话评论，实现思想-态度的耦合，与主播和公社的联系。主播提出的以耦合为目标的表演会调整耦合的对话空间（FINESS），观众弹幕中以耦合为目标的表演会将整个耦合置于人际关系的前景（PROMOTE）。观众也可以通过元表演来提醒观众即将到来的表演，并以这种方式将属性耦合到目标观众（CONVOKE）。同时，由于观众需要在主播的基础上构建自己的表演，从而抢去主播的风头，因此，风格化不仅是为了唤起更强大的声音，从而与主播竞争，而且由此产生的逻辑语义依赖也限制了他们表演的语义选择。

The overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in 2022 caused a profound shift in the right to abortion across the United States. With the removal of legal protection at the federal level, many individual states swiftly passed legislation banning abortion within their borders. In the current paper, I apply Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and multimodal techniques to a corpus of posts hashtagged with #abortionrights, to interrogate how messages of abortion rights are mobilized on Instagram. Tagging posts with #abortionrights reaches a wide audience through the invocation of a dominant, rights-based understanding of abortion. This transmits the hegemonic positionality of neoliberal feminism, and simultaneously transgresses dominant messaging by bringing intersectional feminism into sharp focus. In this way, I argue, social media bares its potential to contribute to a larger, activist agenda that moves us towards social justice and change.

2022年，最高法院推翻了罗伊诉韦德案，在美国各地引发了堕胎权的深刻转变。随着联邦层面法律保护的取消，许多州迅速通过了禁止在其境内堕胎的立法。在本文中，我将女权主义批评话语分析和多模态技术应用于标签为#abortionrights的帖子语料库，以询问堕胎权利的信息是如何在Instagram上被动员起来的。通过调用对堕胎的主流、基于权利的理解，给帖子贴上#abortionrights标签可以吸引广泛的受众。这传递了新自由主义女权主义的霸权地位，同时通过将交叉女权主义带入尖锐的焦点而超越了主导信息。我认为，通过这种方式，社交媒体展现了它的潜力，可以为推动我们走向社会正义和变革的更大、更积极的议程做出贡献。
