- Language, Gender and Parenthood Online: Negotiating Motherhood in Mumsnet Talk, a 50,000-word monograph, brings feminist poststructuralist theory together with linguistic tools for qualitative discourse analysis in a three-year study of the UK parenting website Mumsnet. It analyses a corpus of 50 threads (just under 220,000 words) from its discussion forum, posted over a five-month period in 2014. The central qualitative analysis explores key discourses of parenting and motherhood in two threads taken from this larger data set, addressing questions current across the social sciences about what it means to be a mother in a contemporary digital context.
