title = "Gender performances of male and female politicians on social media: A corpus-assisted discourse study",
abstract = "This study gives a critical discourse analysis of the performances of male and female politicians on Twitter to examine whether the “double bind” situation still exists for female politicians on social media. It collects 1,000 posts from top ten male and female influential political leaders and builds two specialized corpora. This study combines quantitative corpus linguistic methods and qualitative discourse analysis to examine how they differ at three levels of discourse. The findings suggest that while social media empower female politicians in politics, traditional differences between male and female politicians can still be detected on social media.",
