Hi Christian, Thanks for your response on turn-taking. The papers I was referring to are as follows: The MSR Community Technologies Group have been working with an analysis of communication in newsgroups for some time. Here are a couple selected publications: Fisher, D. (2005). Using Egocentric Networks to Understand Communication. IEEE Internet Computing, 9(5), 20-28. Smith, M. (1999). "Invisible Crowds in Cyberspace: Measuring and Mapping the Social Structure of USENET", in Communities in Cyberspace edited by Marc Smith and Peter Kollock. London, Routledge Press, 1999 Members of HP Information Dynamics Lab have done a large number of studies on online information patterns as well. Their work is generally more mathematically demanding. The paper I alluded to was: Loch, C. H., Tyler, J. R., & Lukose, R. (2003). Conversational Structure in Email and Face-to-face Communication. Working Paper. (this might be published somewhere, but I got it from the website) Rebecca Warner's work in psycholinguistics has focused on vocal activity and turntaking (namely when do people pause and why, and what are the consequences of these pauses). McGarva, A. & Warner, R. M. (2003). Attraction and social coordination: Mutual entrainment of vocal activity rhythms. Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 32, 335-354. Warner, R. M. (1996). Coordinated cycles in behavior and physiology during face-to-face social interaction. In J. Watt and A. VanLear, (Eds.), Cycles and dynamic patterns in communication processes. Newbury Park, CA: Sage. Thanks again, BERNiE I received a message from Christian Nelson at approximately 4/14/06 8:20 AM. Above is my reply.

Hi Bernie:

I'm familiar with the following:

Condon & Cech Profiling Turns in Interaction: Discourse Structure and Function Proceedings of the 34th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences - 2001

Darren Reed ŒMaking Conversation¹: Sequential Integrity and the Local Management of Interaction on Internet Newsgroups. Proceedings of the 34th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences - 2001

Winiecki, D. J. (2000, November). Reconstructing talk: Talk-in-interaction in the online, asynchronous classroom. Paper presented at the 2000 Conference of the National Communication Association (NCA). Seattle, WA, USA.

I've not heard of your citations--can you provide me more detail so I can find them?

Thanks, Christian Nelson

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to leverage the recent and informative discussion on hedges to ask a related conversation-analysis question. Can anyone point me to discussions of turn-taking online, particularly via email?

I know of Marc Smith's work with newsgroups and 'answer-people', Loch et. al.'s paper comparing online and offline turntaking and Rebecca Warner's work, but that's about it.

Any input is appreciated,

Many thanks, BERNiE

Turn-Taking in discourse is a big topic for communication theorists, and for those interested in CMC/CSCW/Social Computing. Chat and the problems of forced turn taking should be examined: e.g. Multichat: Persistent, Text-as-you-type Messaging in a Web Browser for Fluid Multi-Person Interaction and Collaboration, by Jonathan Schull, Mike Axelrod and Larry Quinsland at HICSS 2006. Herring, S. Interactional Coherence in CMC. JCMC 4 (4) June 1999 - also her 2000 HICSS paper on the topic of IRC and turn taking. Then their is the idea of web space being discourse and dance space between partners with asynchronous turns - Rosemarie L. Coste - 2000, "Fighting Speech With Speech: David Duke, the Anti-Defamation League, Online Bookstores, and Hate Filters ", Proceedings of the 33rd Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences, IEEE "Profiles as Conversation: Networked Identity Performance on Friendster." danah boyd and Jeffrey Heer. In Proceedings of the Hawai'i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-39) , Persistent Conversation Track. Kauai, HI: IEEE Computer Society. January 4 - 7, 2006. Hope that helps.
