Abstract

Contemporary research has shown that a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods is productive in exploring patterns of Digitally Mediated Communication (DMC). In this paper, I demonstrate the analytical potential of this approach by studying the typographic representation of a prosodic feature of spoken language – High Rising Terminals (HRTs, e.g., that beer pong place I went for my birthday?) – in a large corpus of WhatsApp messages (96,471 messages; 594,183 words) sent by 15 young British adults. Combining methods and approaches from variationist and interactional sociolinguistics, I show that the orthographic representation of HRTs patterns in pragmatically similar ways to the feature in speech in that it most frequently functions as a way of verifying the interlocutors’ comprehension of discourse-new information. The precise rate and pragmatic function of this feature, however, appears to be constrained by the textual modality of the platform. Concluding, I join others in arguing for the analytical potential of employing a multidimensional approach to studying variable patterns of DMC.

DMC 中的 HRT?WhatsApp 中高位上升终端的正交表示法
当代研究表明,定性与定量相结合的方法在探索以数字为媒介的交流(DMC)模式方面很有成效。在本文中,我通过研究 15 名英国年轻人发送的大量 WhatsApp 消息(96,471 条消息;594,183 个单词)中口语的拟声特征--高音终端(HRT,例如:我生日去的那个啤酒乒乓球馆?结合变异社会语言学和互动社会语言学的方法和途径,我表明,HRTs 的正字法表征模式在语用上与语音中的特征相似,它最常见的功能是验证对话者对话语新信息的理解。然而,这一特征的精确速率和语用功能似乎受到平台文本模式的限制。最后,我和其他人一样,认为采用多维方法研究 DMC 的不同模式具有分析潜力。
