🚀Communalytic is Getting a Major Upgrade (March 15, 2026) - Communalytic - A no-code computational social science research tool for studying online communities and public discourse on social media We are excited to announce the next major evolution of Communalytic! Over the past year, we have listened closely to feedback from individual researchers and academic teams and rebuilt key parts of th...

Researchers, are you studying public discourse on social media? If you are, here's a preview of our new Communalytic research tool. It's getting a major upgrade on Mar. 15, 2026 communalytic.org/2026/02/18/c... #AcademicSky #ComSky #CommSky #DiscourseAnalysis #LibrarySky #PhDSky #PolCom #ResearchSky

🧵 5/5

In other words, policy language doesn’t just reflect political thinking; it actively produces it. Labels organise public perception, justify action & shape who is imagined to be part of “us”.

🧵 3/5

When applied to contemporary migrant communities, the term does more than describe a place: it frames a population & legitimises particular kinds of state intervention.

🧵 2/5

From a linguistic perspective, this is a reminder that words are never neutral. “Ghetto” carries centuries of historical meaning, from enforced Jewish quarters in early modern Europe to Nazi persecution.

#langsky #language #linguistics #discourseanalysis

🧵 1/5

Denmark even created an official “ghetto list” of housing areas, later renamed “parallel societies” to soften the stigma — yet the policies largely remained the same.

The episode also offers valuable advice for early-career researchers, from navigating theory & method, to recognising that critical research is not simply about analysing texts, but about engaging with real-world problems.

#langsky #criticaldiscourseanalysis #CDA #discourseanalysis

🧵 2/3

A key theme running throughout is context: discourse cannot be understood in isolation, but only in relation to the historical, political & social environments in which it is produced & interpreted.

#langsky #linguistics #criticaldiscourseanalysis #CDA #discourseanalysis #discoursestudies

🧵 1/3

Wodak reflects on the origins of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), explaining how it emerged as an explicitly interdisciplinary, problem-oriented approach to studying language in society.

🧵 2/6

“Strongman” leaders deploy misogynistic rhetoric to perform dominance. Their language constructs hierarchies: strong vs weak, rational vs emotional, leader vs subordinate.

#langsky #linguistics #politicaldiscourse #discoursestudies #discourseanalysis #politicalcommunication

🧵 1/6

Hate speech, slurs, threats, mocking labels, gendered nicknames & defamatory narratives all rely on specific linguistic forms designed to degrade, intimidate & silence.

The Devolution of the “Fake News” Rhetoric — Simply Put Psych See how Donald Trump’s use of “fake news” evolved from attacking the media to shaping a culture of denial. This article analyzes the political, psychological, and authoritarian roots of the fake news ...

Trump’s true legacy?
Not the wall. Not the 'deals'. Not groceries.
2016: Popularizes “fake news” to attack the press.
2025: Upcycles it into a full-blown thought-terminating cliché.
Considering his limited lexicon, that’s quite an achievement.
