How to build and analyse social media corpus with the help of CAQDAS? NVivo: an instrument for digital discourse analysis

The rise of social media gave the chance for scholars in Humanities and Social Sciences to create corpus from data available online. The danger, in this way, is collecting big data very difficult to manage with traditional tools and, overall, in the frame of qualitative research. For this reason, it seems important to mobilize digital tools to assist the research in a reflexive perspective. These kind of software are called CAQDAS. This paper shows how analyse these software in an online or digital fieldwork to organise and analyse a corpus. This latter is built to develop a discourse analysis in a radio professional environment using social media.
