之前关于在线（集体）身份的研究已经探索了社交媒体特定的实践（如标签）如何使身份构建和与更广泛的用户社区建立联系。提及和转发等实践也在文献中进行了讨论，但作为话语实践的跟随实践尚未得到充分探讨。本文提出了一种基于语料库的批判性话语分析方法来研究Twitter上的集体认同，重点关注关注与语言使用之间的关系，并详细介绍了一项对足球联盟（Football Lads Alliance）追随者使用的语言进行的研究。足球联盟是一个抗议团体，他们说自己“反对所有极端主义”。这种方法在识别关注者个人资料描述中的突出话语与他们的推文之间的相关性方面取得了丰硕的成果，并表明一部分关注者构建了与激进右翼和民粹主义话语相关的身份，特别是与伊斯兰/穆斯林有关的话语。
Previous studies of online (collective) identity have explored how social media–specific practices like hashtags can enable identity construction and affiliation with a wider community of users. Practices such as mentioning and retweeting have also been discussed in the literature but the practice of following as a discourse practice is underexplored. This article presents a corpus-based Critical Discourse Analytical approach to the study of collective identity on Twitter that focuses on the relationships between following and language use and details a study conducted on the language used by followers of the Football Lads Alliance – a protest group who say they are ‘against all extremism’. This approach was fruitful in identifying correlations between salient discourses in follower profile descriptions and their tweets and suggests that a portion of the followership constructs identity in relation to radical right-wing and populist discourse specifically concerning Islam/Muslims.
