Abstract:

Facebook and Conversation Analysis investigates the structure and organization
of comments on a major social media platform, Facebook, using applied
conversation analysis methods. Providing previously undocumented insights into
the structure of comment threads, this book demonstrates that they have a
meaningful organization, rather than casually following one another. Although
normally used to explore the structure of spoken conversations, in recent
years conversation analysis approaches have been successfully applied to
examine online interactions on Twitter, discussion forums and email exchanges.
By turning this approach towards Facebook comments, Matteo Farina provides
clear and important insights into the organization of this type of social
interaction. Supported by a large sample of data, with findings based on a
corpus of 213 comment threads, with over 1,200 comments exchanged by 266
contributors, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding
of the way people communicate on Facebook.
