looking for references on online conversational analysis and discourse analysis
Dear list members, I am looking for references on online conversational dynamics, who initiate the talk, who support the talk, who respond the talk, who end the talk, etc. I am trying to see how various factors such as gender, age, language proficiency, subject knowledge and culture, all contribute to relative power structures in the conversations, especially in 3D virtual world. I tried to find some references concerning conversational or discourse analysis , but have not got much. Thus, I am very appreciated that you have some recommendations especially about conversational or discourse analysis for online activities or 3d virtual world activities. Best regards, Airong Wang Doctoral candidate, Sweden
Dear Airong Wang, I suggest you take a look at the following two special editions in language@internet for helpful articles which either apply such methods in online contexts or discuss them: 1) Special issue on data and methods in computer-mediated discourse analysis, edited by Androutsopoulos and Beisswenger (2008). URL: http://www.languageatinternet.org/articles/2008 In this special issue, the following two articles may be especially useful: Beisswenger, Michael. 2008. Situated chat analysis as a window to the user’s perspective: Aspects of temporal and sequential organization. * Language@internet 5*, article 6. Available at: http://www.languageatinternet.org/articles/2008/1532. Androutsopoulos, Jannis. 2008. Potentials and limitations of discourse-centered online ethnography. *Language@Internet 5,* article 8. http://www.languageatinternet.de/articles/2008/1610/index_html. 2) Special issue on computer-mediated conversation, edited by Susan Herring. URL for part I: http://www.languageatinternet.org/articles/2010URL for part II: http://www.languageatinternet.org/articles/2011 There is indeed a lack of research on language use and power from a (socio)linguistic perspective. I faced a similar struggle when writing my PhD, which is on language and power in blogs. Kind regards, Brook Bolander On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 2:53 PM, Wang Airong <airong.wang@miun.se> wrote:

Lambiase, Jacqueline J. 2010 Hanging by a thread: Topic development and death in an online discussion of breaking news. *Language@Internet* 7, article 9. Available at: http://www.languageatinternet.de/articles/2010. Accessed on: 05/03/2011 Herring, Susan C. and Carole G. Nix. 1997 Is ‘serious chat’ an oxymoron? Academic vs. social uses of Internet Relay Chat. Paper presented at the American Association of Applied Linguistics, Orlando, FL, March 11.
