The lesson aims to provide a general overview of social media
environments, their structure, and multimodal affordances. Given their great societal impact in constructing discourse, a focus will be placed on digitally mediated communication (DMC) by describing old and recent prosumer practices on these platforms. Legal, ethical, and technical implications to consider while gathering data on social media for linguistic analysis will be
discussed based on concrete examples and issues encountered during research. Finally, practical demonstrations will be provided on how to analyze and display the gathered data in graphs for scientific dissemination.
