Abstract:
The author analyses computer chat as a form of communication. While some forms
of computer-mediated communication (CMC) deviate only marginally from
traditional writing, computer chat is popularly considered to be written
conversation and the most «oral» form of written CMC. This book systematically
explores the varying degrees of conversationality («orality») in CMC, focusing
in particular on a corpus of computer chat (synchronous and supersynchronous
CMC) compiled by the author. The author employs Douglas Biber’s
multidimensional methodology and situates the chats relative to a range of
spoken and written genres on his dimensions of linguistic variation. The study
fills a gap both in CMC linguistics as regards a systematic variationist
approach to computer chat genres and in variationist linguistics as regards a
description of conversational writing.
Contents: Creating and annotating corpora of CMC – Internet relay chat – ICQ –
UCOW – Salient features in conversational writing – Social media analysis –
Orality – Synchronicity of communication – Paralinguistic features and
extra-linguistic content – A systemic-functional approach to computer chat.
