本研究基于对一小部分消息文本的分析，描述了发布到互联网讨论论坛上的有关抑郁症的消息的话语特征。将消息文本分为问题消息、建议消息和感谢消息三种类型，并从话语功能方面描述和分析了每种消息类型的显着话语特征。问题消息的特点包括：频繁使用隐喻语言描述症状、使用或键入问题来请求建议以及普遍缺乏直接请求建议。劝告信息以随意的风格为特点，表现出多种话语模式，共同的功能是表达积极的关怀和团结。这些模式的出现可能与提供建议的话语功能相关的特殊人际需求有关。感谢信息是对建议信息的回复，通常包括一些对建议的感谢表达，但有趣的是，感谢信息的作者从未表示他们已经按照或将按照收到的建议采取行动。
This study describes discourse features of messages posted to an Internet discussion forum about depression based on the analysis of a small corpus of message texts. The message texts were classified into three types: problem messages, advice messages and thanks messages, and salient discourse features of each message type were described and analyzed in terms of discourse function. Features of problem messages included: frequent use of metaphorical language to describe symptoms, use of or type questions to request advice, and a general lack of direct requests for advice. Advice messages were characterized by casual style and exhibited a variety of discourse patterns with the common function of expressing positive regard and solidarity. The occurrence of these patterns can be related to the special interpersonal needs associated with the discourse function of giving advice. Thanks messages were responses to advice messages, and usually included some expression of thanks for advice, but interestingly, thanks message writer never indicated that they had acted upon or would act upon the advice they received.
