Abstract

This study employs digital methods in conjunction with traditional content and discourse analyses to explore how the US President Donald Trump conducts diplomacy on Twitter and how, if at all, diplomatic entities around the world engage in diplomatic exchanges with him. The results confirm speculations that Trump’s diplomatic communication on Twitter disrupts traditional codes of diplomatic language but show little evidence that new codes of diplomatic interactions on social media are being constructed, given that other diplomatic entities around the world mostly remain within the confines of traditional notions of diplomacy in (not) communicating with Trump on Twitter.

摘要

这项研究将数字方法与传统内容和话语分析结合使用，以探索美国总统唐纳德·特朗普如何在Twitter上进行外交，以及如果有的话，世界各地的外交实体如何与他进行外交往来。结果证实了有关特朗普在Twitter上进行外交交流打乱传统外交语言守则的猜测，但鉴于世界各地其他外交实体大多仍在传统观念的范围内，因此几乎没有证据表明社交媒体上正在建立新的外交互动守则。 （不）在Twitter上与特朗普进行交流的外交。
