在 Twitter 上行动：在计算机介导的书面交流中动画报道的言论的可供性

摘要 引语是一种与非正式口语语境相关的结构，尤其是与各种形式的具体表现相关的结构。本研究检查了 Twitter 数据语料库中的引用实例（1,000,000 条推文；1,113 个引用实例）。我们特别关注 Twitter 用户如何利用平台的可供性来动画化他们的演讲报告——即代表声音、表演肢体语言或以其他方式“戏剧化”演讲报告。目的是研究在面对面互动中丰富体现的语言格式如何在 Twitter 上“重新体现”。研究发现，Twitter 上报道的言论的动画是通过视觉方式（主要是印刷方式）提供的。在材料中，口头实践更频繁地被重新配置和补救，而不是直接复制。也就是说，即使用户没有再现口头话语，他们也经常采用图形策略，这些策略主要通过类比口头和具体的面对面交互来理解。然而，用户也会利用没有面对面类似内容的新兴在线内容，例如“纯粹”的印刷游戏和已建立的在线模因的招募。因此，研究结果表明，在基于文本的计算机介导的环境中，口头表达是一种痕迹，但并不是将报道的言论变为现实的必要组成部分。
Abstract Quotative be like is a construction associated with informal spoken contexts and, especially, with various forms of embodied enactments. This study examines instances of quotative be like in a corpus of Twitter data (1,000,000 tweets; 1,113 quotative instances). Special attention is paid to how users of Twitter employ the platform’s affordances to animate their speech reports – i.e. to represent voices, enact body language, or otherwise ‘dramatize’ the speech reports. The aim is to investigate how a linguistic format which is richly embodied in face-to-face interaction gets ‘re-embodied’ on Twitter. The study finds that animation of reported speech on Twitter is visually, and predominantly typographically, afforded. In the material, oral practices are more frequently reconfigured and remediated rather than directly reproduced. That is to say, even when users are not reproducing spoken utterances, they often employ graphical strategies that are mainly understandable by analogy to spoken and embodied face-to-face interaction. However, users also draw on emergent online repertoires with no face-to-face analogues, such as ‘pure’ typographical play and the recruitment of established online memes. Thus, the findings suggest that orality lingers as a trace, but is not a necessary component, in bringing reported speech to life in a text-based computer-mediated setting.
