Synopsis

This book examines how technology and online media shape social interaction. Social Interaction and Technology explores how technology mediates social interaction. The focal point of analysis and discussion is online communication. Using conversation analysis and ethnomethodology, the book identifies and explicates key social and interactional issues in voice-based and text-based chat rooms, emails, social networking websites, and mobile telephony.

Divided into three sections - survey, analysis, application - this is an ideal resource for postgraduate students of computer-mediated communication (CMC) or applied linguistics. It examines popular forms of online communication from a conversation analytic and ethnomethodological perspective. It provides transcript-based analyses and discussions of popular forms of online communication. It offers in-depth commentaries of data extracts and provides suggestions for further research. It discusses the practical implications and applications of studying online communication.
