The Influential Role of Social Media in Creating a Public Stance
2024
Overview
By using a corpus-based analysis, this study aims to investigate how social media microblogging platforms, namely Facebook and Twitter, are effective tools in the formation of a public stance and fostering interpersonal affiliation. Primarily, the integration of Corpus Linguistics and Appraisal Theory of Martin and White (2005) has aided in identifying the common stance of social media users who aspire to make their voices heard and attract more supporters with common interests to form a community of shared values. AntConc software version 3.5.9 is utilized to analyze posts and tweets taken from Facebook and Twitter concerning the Qur'an burning incident that took place in Sweden on 21st January 2023. The total number posts came to 2037 and were collected during the period from 21st January to 27th February 2023. The emphasis is on the more frequently used clusters described with attitudinal values that micro bloggers employ to figure out their public stance. This study concludes that Online hate speech on social media can potentially result in offline hate crimes. Thus, a negative appraisal is utilized more frequently across all attitude systems to convey the rejection of social media users mixing hate speech with the concept of freedom of expression.
