Hello everybody,

New to the group but not to SIOC. I'm interested to see can SIOC be
extended to include the pragmatics of a post. Naturally, this would
involve the context in which the post is submitted to the forum, thus
social roles - of the poster and the person who replies to the post -
must be identified and brought into the model in some form. Even
then, calling this pragmatics is a little bit of a stretch. Has anyone
come across any work on this sort of stuff? In regards to SIOC that
is?

Cheers,

John McAuley

Hi John -

Not sure if this is exactly what you mean but this work by Jeff Chan et al.
may be relevant -

Cheers John,

Sorry, hastily prepared question...
I've come across that paper and the work of clique.

I'm interested in using similar approaches to analyse the effect of
institutional orders on common-based resources. I know this is not
necessarily the territory of SIOC but I was wondering had anybody
looked at extending SIOC in that direction....this is really the
domain of pragmatics.

It might be tangential to the work in clique but Christopher Goldspink
and the Emil project (http://emil.istc.cnr.it/) are looking at
emergence (of order through language etc) in large social systems.
There is a good paper at
http://lifeandmind.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/5.pdf.

In this paper they use manual content analysis, I think, which
precludes large macro sites however.

Thanks for the reply, sorry for the lack of clarity.
