This paper aims to analyse video press reviews, which are digital press videos that are composed of several video quotations. Although the quotations originate from different media sources, they are linked intertextually because they contain opinions about the same political events. The quotations contain an evaluative stance about political events. The video quotations are edited into a new media story. Although the video press review is based on the selection of journalistic content and interpretation of media material, it has novel characteristics that make it a transformed and hybrid genre. In the cases analysed, there is no explicit journalistic voice to comment on the quoted material or the quoted persons. The origin of the quotations is not identified in every case. In this sense, the video press review does not fulfil the exigencies of reliability of information. The journalistic stance consists of composing a new story that relies on the viewers' capacity to recognise the genre's similarity to social media videos and independently draw conclusions about the meaning of the news information after reviewing quoted material. ; This paper aims to analyse video press reviews, which are digital press videos that are composed of several video quotations.

The goal of this article is to examine the context-dependent nature of acts of confiding in political interviews and to identify its genre-specific constraints and requirements. It looks at their distribution in British and French political interviews with regard to form, function and possible perlocutionary effects. The communicative act of confiding is compared and contrasted with disclosure, self-disclosure and revelation, and the necessary and sufficient conditions required for confiding in a felicitous manner are examined. Particular attention is given to the genre's status as mediated and public discourse with public and political information. The most prominent strategies for realizing acts of confiding are analyzed by comparing and contrasting implicit and explicit realizations as well as their communicative functions in the British and French data.

This book contributes to the scholarly debate on the forms and patterns of interaction and discourse in modern digital communication by probing some of the social functions that online communication has for its users. An array of experts and scholars in the field address a range of forms of social interaction and discourses expressed by users on social networks and in public media. Social functions are reflected through linguistic and discursive practices that are either those of 'convergence' or 'controversy' in terms of how the discourse participants handle interpersonal relations or how they construct meanings in discourses. In this sense, the book elaborates on some very central concerns in the area of digital discourse analysis that have been reported within the last decade from various methodological perspectives ranging from sociolinguistics and pragmatics to corpus linguistics. This edited collection will be of particular interest to scholars and students in the fields of digital discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, social media and communication, and media and cultural studies

Participants' orientation to progressivity of action sequences is a fundamental feature of human social interaction, but less is known about how progressivity is maintained in human-robot interaction (HRI). We explore this by drawing on c. 14 hours of video recordings showing small groups of primary school children interacting with Nao, a programmable humanoid robot. Facilitated by a teacher, the children in our data are completing a short robot-assisted language learning lesson aimed at training English vocabulary and oral skills at a Swedish-speaking school in Finland. We investigate how the teacher and the pupils address emerging troubles in a word repetition sequence which the robot is programmed to carry out with one pupil at a time. Our analysis focuses on two kinds of troubles related to sequence closure: the robot's so-called 'third' turns that either 1) do not ratify the pupil's just-prior word repetition as 'correct' or 2) are (treated as) incongruent within the sequential context. We show how the human participants make sense of such conduct, recruit the teacher's assistance to secure closure of the activity sequence, and orient to pronunciation instruction in situated ways. The results shed light on how children accommodate to, and are socialised into, human-robot interaction.
