Online discourse is the study of communication and interaction that occurs on the internet, particularly on social media platforms, forums, blogs, and other online communities. Researchers in this field analyze the ways in which individuals and groups communicate, express opinions, share information, and engage in debates and discussions online. They may examine the language used, the tone of interactions, the structure of conversations, and the impact of online discourse on society and culture. Online discourse research can help us better understand how ideas spread, opinions are formed, and communities are built in the digital age.
