Research in the field of digital discourse has increasingly highlighted the relevance of the blurring of borders between online and offline, and the convergence of different modes for the ways individuals use resources, including language, to engage in various socio-cultural practices. More recently some of this work has turned to focus on the methodological implications of these developments. Building on existing scholarship, this paper reviews a range of literature to probe the methodological implications of shifts in possible sites or “entry points” (Heller, Pietkäinen & Pujolar, 2018, 47) to digital discourse and changes in the scope of what counts as data. While we position our paper as a review on methodology, we argue for the importance of engaging with these questions as intricately related to epistemology, theory and the study of language more generally.

数字话语领域的研究越来越强调在线和离线之间边界模糊的相关性，以及个人使用资源（包括语言）进行各种社会文化实践的方式的不同模式的融合。最近，一些工作转向了这些发展的方法论意义。本文以现有奖学金为基础，回顾了一系列文献，探讨了可能的地点或``入场点''（Heller，Pietkäinen＆Pujolar，2018，47）转变为数字话语并改变了算术范围的方法学含义。数据。虽然我们将论文定位为方法论的综述，但我们认为参与这些与认识论错综复杂的问题的重要性，
