社会语言学中广泛注意到的一个限制是“观察者的变化悖论”（Labov, 1972）所呈现的张力，即日常语言容易受到观察的污染（Stubbs, 1983: 224）。观察者的矛盾已经被认为对传统的社会语言学研究者提出了重大的挑战，这些研究者试图探索在日常互动中起作用的过程。最近，学者们开始认为，事实上，录音设备的存在，而不仅仅是对口头互动的约束，本身就是参与者明确导向的互动资源（Speer和Hutchby 2003； Gordon 2012）。作为探索语言和身份之间关系的更广泛项目的一部分，本文利用在实验条件下收集的成绩单，试图探索这些取向如何在即时通讯（IM）对话的背景下表现出来。我们展示了实验设置的不同方向，以及对研究人员角色的不同理解——在这种情况下，以IM聊天档案为代表——既是讨论的主题，也是参与者自己。
One limitation widely noted in sociolinguistics is the tension presented by the ‘observer׳s paradox’ (Labov, 1972), i.e. the notion that everyday language is susceptible to contamination by observation (Stubbs, 1983: 224). The observer׳s paradox has been perceived to present significant challenges to traditional sociolinguistic researchers seeking to explore the processes at work during ordinary interaction. More recently, scholars have begun to argue that in fact the presence of a recording device, rather than being a mere constraint on spoken interaction, is in itself an interactional resource explicitly oriented to by participants (Speer and Hutchby 2003; Gordon 2012). Drawing on a collection of transcripts collected in experimental conditions as part of a wider project exploring the relationship between language and identity, this paper seeks to explore how these orientations manifest themselves in the context of Instant Messaging (IM) conversations. We show different orientations to the experimental setting, and different understandings of the role of the researcher – represented in this case by the IM chat archive – as both a topic of discussion and as a participant themselves.
