在本文中，我们描述了在线青少年聊天室中的参与者如何适应聊天环境的独特功能，以实现对话连贯性并创建新的交流语域。通常，在线聊天对话会同时讨论多个主题，并且参与者的贡献不遵循面对面或电话对话中的轮流顺序。我们提出，聊天对话的连贯性有两个基本要求：确定谁正在参与特定对话以及确定相关响应的构成。我们对在线聊天记录的分析表明，聊天媒体的视觉本质允许参与者修改现有的沟通策略并创建新的策略来满足这些要求。从形式上来说，聊天室代码集成了口头和书面话语的特征。从功能上讲，该代码在青少年聊天室的背景下使参与者能够共同构建话语的重要特征，例如参与者的身份和特征以及相关话语。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
In this article, we describe how participants in an online teen chatroom adapt to the unique features of chat environments to achieve conversational coherence and create a new communicative register. Typically, online chat conversations have several topics being discussed simultaneously, and participants' contributions do not follow the turn-taking sequence found in face-to-face or telephone conversations. We propose that there are two basic requirements for coherence in a chat conversation-establishing who is participating in a particular conversation and establishing what constitutes a relevant response. Our analysis of an online chat transcript reveals that the visual nature of the chat medium allows participants to modify extant communication strategies and create new ones to fulfill these requirements. Formally, the chatroom code integrates features of oral and written discourse. Functionally, this code, in the context of a teen chatroom, enables participants to co-construct important features of discourse, such as participant identity and characteristics, and relevant utterances.
