Subject:  Discourse analysis of on-line dialogues

I have a telementoring project connecting middle-school girls with
high-school and adult mentors.   Among other things, we are exploring
patterns in the discource among the participants.
 I would like advice or references relating to the analysis of on-line
dialogues -- what techniques or questions from "conventional" discourse
analysis seem to translate well to this kind of corpus, and which (aside
from the obvious) do not?

It's a well-known typological generalization that verb-final languages
generally do not have wh-movement while verb-initial languages do, but I'm
trying to track down some SVO languages that do NOT have wh-movement.  If
you know of any, please let me know.
