My project explores a timely and under-researched aspect of our relationship to technology, using linguistic analysis to examine how identities are constructed in the face of pervasive online surveillance. Despite the communicative opportunities of social media, these platforms also drastically increase the public surveillance of the individuals who use them. For individuals belonging to vulnerable demographic groups, this surveillance can have significant implications for their use of these technologies and how they present themselves online. To explore this, this study will investigate how transgender individuals use language to manage their identity in an online environment, where their ability to vary their self-presentation is complicated by the potential for surveillance by multiple known and unknown entities at any given time (Manokha 2018). This is a phenomenon known as 'context collapse' (Marwick and boyd2011), identified in previous literature as a particular problem for transgender people (Fritz and Gonzales2018; Scheuerman, Branham and Hamdi 2018).

我的项目探索了我们与技术关系中一个及时而又研究不足的方面，使用语言分析来研究面对无处不在的在线监控，身份是如何构建的。尽管社交媒体提供了交流的机会，但这些平台也大幅增加了对使用它们的个人的公共监控。对于属于弱势人口群体的个人来说，这种监控可能会对他们使用这些技术以及他们如何在网上展示自己产生重大影响。为了探索这一点，这项研究将调查跨性别者如何在网络环境中使用语言来管理他们的身份，在网络环境中，他们改变自我表现的能力因任何给定时间被多个已知和未知实体监视的可能性而变得复杂(Manokha 2018)。这是一种被称为“背景崩溃”的现象(Marwick和Boid，2011)，在以前的文献中被认为是变性人的一个特殊问题(Fritz和Gonzales 2018；Scheuerman，Branham和Hamdi 2018)。
