This work uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an electronic communication interface to improve people’s ability to focus on important communications. Many social cues that allow people to function naturally with their social networks offline are not obvious in Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). This work uses automatic social network analysis to bring some cues to CMC that foster the user’...

In this paper I examine mixed synchronous and asynchronous text-based conversations that have been carried on in the context of a computer-mediated communication (CMC) system called "Babble", which has been in use by a group of nineteen people for nearly two years. The primary goal is to explore principled ways of analyzing and characterizing conversational activity in such systems using genre ...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) affords many CMC cues which augment the verbal content of the message: all uppercase letters, asterisks, emoticons, punctuation marks, chronemics (time-related messages) and letter repetitions, to name a few. Letter repetitions are unique CMC cues in that they appear to be a written emulation of a spoken paralinguistic cue – phoneme extension. In this study...

This article argues that existing theory and research on computer-mediated communication (CMC) provide a limited view of information-seeking behavior and proposes a conceptual model for its examination via CMC and new media. Although most CMC environments eliminate or severely reduce nonverbal and contextual information available to address uncertainty, form impressions, and develop relationshi...

Abstract The current study presents an analysis of a linguistic device supporting interactional coherence in computer-mediated communication (CMC). focused on the use German causative conjunction weil and, more specifically, syntactic variation verb-final versus verb-second word order -clause. Verb-final indicates dependent clause, whereas independent clause. While only former is accepted writt...

Conversations for Cooperation refer to the perspectives on design of cooperative systems which rely on the today prevalent conversational analogy— i.e., viewing communication with and through computers as a conversation. Among those perspectives are the ones based on the “models of language use” of Clark and his colleagues. From my experience of Clark and colleagues’ models of the referring pro...

This study aimed to gain an insight into whether computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the form of a digital forum can reflect gendered discursive practices. A great deal of research has now established that computer-mediated interactions embody gendered differences in the use of emoticons, but few studies have examined the potential effect of the gender of the emoticon-receiver on the frequ...

Addressing knowledge communication with shared databases, this chapter focuses on an asynchronous, many-to-many type of computer-mediated communication (CMC). After an introduction, which characterizes this kind of CMC and provides definitions, various aspects are discussed that influence people’s behavior in knowledge communication with shared databases. This presentation focuses on psychologi...

The language used in Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) has been a debated issue for long time. Ever since the normalisation of this method communication, interaction going on only between common people, resulting more expressive and direct communication process. However, recently, elites royalties have also come into CMC platforms which causes confusion people royalties. Therefore, it leads...
