Σύνοψη	Comparative netnography applies netnographic methods systematically across two or more online communities, platforms, or cultural contexts to reveal both shared and divergent patterns in online social life. Grounded in Kozinets's netnographic tradition, it extends single-site online ethnography into a comparative logic: the researcher immerses in multiple digital field sites, gathers culturally embedded data, and analyses across sites to generate theoretically richer, transferable insights.	Comparative discourse analysis examines how language constructs meaning, identity, and power by systematically contrasting texts or speech acts drawn from at least two distinct contexts, groups, time periods, or institutions. By holding analytical categories constant across cases, it reveals how discursive patterns diverge or converge, producing insights that single-context discourse analysis cannot generate.
