Analysis of Community of Practice Discourse Characteristics--A Case Study of Ipartment Bullet Chat
Abstract
With the rapid development of network and bullet-screen technology in recent years, bullet chat has been active in various videos as a new form of Cyber language. Audiences can be able to display discourse of views, meanwhile these languages will appear on the screen and float on the surface of the video, which shows extraordinary engagement and entertainment. Based on the theory of community of Practice, this article analyzes the characteristics of bullet chat discourse from the perspective of rhetorical features about the fifth season of China TV series Ipartment. Besides, this article also explores the relationship between the behaviour of typing bullet chat and the particular community of practice characteristics.
