“…We're not, in other words, looking at individuals interacting in groups but rather at persons and personalities communing in discourse. (Martin, 2009) The interpersonal dimension of meaning inflects the personae that we adopt in social life, just as the kinds of roles that these personae can take up is modulated by the genres into which we have been socialized (Martin and Rose, 2008).…”

This article explores how we use social media to construe identities and align with others into communities of shared values. The focus is on how ‘users of language perform their identities within uses of language’: How do personae using the microblogging service Twitter perform relational identities as they enact discourse fellowships? Addressing this question means understanding how personae enter into ambient affiliation. Such affiliation is ambient in the sense that social media users may not be interacting directly, but instead participating in mass performances of hashtagging or contributing to iterations of Internet memes. This article will consider three key bonds ( self-deprecation, frazzle and addiction) using both a 100 million-word corpus of posts and a smaller specialized corpus collected by capturing the entire Twitter stream of a particular user.

Black-boxing and the politics of parliamentary oversight in South Africa

We investigate a parliamentary committee meeting overseeing a randomly chosen state-owned entity, in order to track the processes of knowledge production that occur in parliamentary oversight. The entity's representatives use "epistemological condensation" (Maton 2014:130) to present the information they give to the MPs as incontestable, effectively "black-boxing" it. "Black-boxing" (Latour 1987) is a process which presents knowledge in such a way that very little room is left for questioning it. The committee members also use "epistemological rarefaction" (Maton 2014:130) to open the black box of the presentation and question its contents, challenging the practices of the entity.

“…In doing so, SFL highlights five fundamental dimensions for studying language: rank, delicacy, stratification, instantiation, and metafunction (Halliday and Matthiessen 2014: 20). Martin (2009) also proposes the dimension of individuation.…”

On the notion of abstraction in systemic functional linguistics

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the theoretical dimensions of stratification, instantiation, and delicacy within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It does so by examining the nature of the concept of 'abstraction' with respect to these terms. The claim is that, although the same term is used in each case, the precise meaning of abstraction differs depending on the theoretical focus. This conclusion is reached by examining three related, but distinct, factors: (1) omission of detail, (2) generalisation, and (3) decontextualisation. By using these criteria, this article develops a typology of abstraction types for SFL. The conclusion reached is that, although the dimensions of delicacy and instantiation can be described using the criteria above, the explicit ordering behind the dimension of stratification cannot. The paper concludes by examining a proposal that attempts to account for the explicit ordering between strata in terms of supervenience. We argue that this attempt fails to accurate describe inter-stratal relations in the theory. Therefore, the basis of this ordering is in need of further investigation.
