Try to prove me wrong: Dialogicity and audience involvement in economics blogs

- Blog posts are characterized by forms of self-mention and reader's engagement.
- The prominence of organizational units responds to a need for greater explicitness.
- Evaluation and hedges suggest a need to negotiate meanings with an undefined audience.
- Eliciting response is just as important as promoting the writer's position and ideas.
- Comments create complex polylogues interweaving parallel conversations and discourses.
