Abstract

The relationship between women leaders’ language, social media, and politics has been interesting to be discussed.  However, there are lacks previous studies that examined the women leaders’ language and how the word choices represent women leaders on Twitter.Thus, this study aims to find out Theresa May’s language on Twitter and how those word choices represent herself as a woman leader. The data are taken from the tweets on Theresa May’s Twitter account over the last six months of her leadership reign (from January until July 2019), which focused on her crucial tweets about politics and leadership. The researchers adopted four theories to capture and analyze the data from different angles to produce the rich analysis of Theresa May’s word choices and representation on Twitter. The study revealed several word choices used by Theresa May into four categories: (1) announcement tweets, (2) attack/negative tweets, (3) personal characteristics, and (4) policy. Furthermore, the study also found that Theresa May utilized those word choices to represent herself as a political leader. She also used metaphors and pronouns to shape the desired representation. Furthermore, not all PDA elements by Fairclough Fairclough (2012) were employed due to the limited characters number on Twitter or other possible purpose(s). This study is beneficial to enrich the knowledge on how the use of language by woman leader is implicated within social and political contexts of a country. The Linguistics analysis on gender, language, and politics is another take away from this research.

Abstract

This research is about translingual practice in a digital context (social media), namely the Indonesian infotainment’s Instagram @folkative account. This research is essential because translingual practice increasingly influences social media interaction in this globalized era, enriching cross-cultural expression and creating a digital presence. This qualitative research aims to analyze the pattern(s) of translingual practice and how these patterns are/are applied in the mentioned account. Three theories, Canagarajah’s (2013a) translingual practice theory are used as the core theory, Zappavigna’s (2021) theory of discourse and social media, and Barton’s and Lee’s (2013) theory of computer-mediated communication (CMC) as the supporting theories. The results of this study demonstrate that translingual practice in the @folkative account suggests a complex negotiation process showing the fluidity of languages and the fluidity of interactional modalities. Moreover, digital translingual practice also contains a basic norm of translingual practice: breaking language boundaries, social justice, emotional effect, and social subjectivity. We suggest that future research could broaden the scope of digital platforms to blogs, websites, or online news platforms in order to get a broader and deeper understanding of digital translingual practices.
