“…Además, la elección de una imagen, la disposición de los colores, agregar un enlace, incluir un movimiento no son elementos estéticos, sino que responden a una intención comunicativa que tiene sentido en el marco de un contexto y en la articulación de todos los elementos presentes en la producción textual. Darics (2013), a partir de una investigación sobre la comunicación no verbal en los mensajes de texto, encontró que el uso de aspectos no verbales como los emoticones, las pausas en la escritura, los gestos, se constituyen en formas poderosas de comunicación discursiva que permiten transmitir emociones, afectos o ampliar la información. Actualmente es insuficiente dominar la escritura alfabética, pues se exige tener las habilidades adecuadas para expresar y dotar de sentido a una conversación en la cual intervienen otras formas de representación simbólica, al igual que el medio social cada vez demanda las capacidades para descodificar adecuadamente estos mensajes.…”

“…Language-based conventions include the use of grammatical forms, such as zero-subject constructions (Virtanen 2015) and the use of colloquial intensifiers, e.g., so (Tagliamonte 2016). Non-language symbols include emoticons (Dresner & Herring 2010) and multiplication of letters (Darics 2013).…”

Multimodal expression in written digital discourse: The case of kineticons

This paper is concerned with the appropriation of the affordances of text-based communication in digital media to evoke associations with multimodal communication, specifically visual, auditory and haptic experiences accompanying observed nonverbal phenomena and actions in text-messages. In order to account for these phenomena, the notion of kineticon is introduced and theorised from the perspective of its constitutive elements, established conventions, and functions. Through the analysis presented here, I identify a user-initiated language development serving to express multimodal meanings within a written medium often simplistically treated as mono-modal. I also demonstrate that the Goffmanian categories of given and given off expression need to be reconsidered in the light of the emergence of the expression of multimodal content in text-based digital media. The paper proposes a methodological approach to the analysis of user-initiated language phenomena, which includes naturally occurring data collection, the use of online participant observations, and detailed interviews using data as prompts.

“…Some scholars have criticized this tradition, arguing that the speech-writing distinction is too simplistic and often analytically irrelevant (e.g. Androutsopoulos 2013;Darics 2013;Vandergriff 2013;Herring and Androutsopoulos 2015;Arminen et al 2016). The present study does not presume that reported speech on Twitter simply reproduces face-to-face practices in text (cf.…”

Quotative be like is a construction associated with informal spoken contexts and, especially, with various forms of embodied enactments. This study examines instances of quotative be like in a corpus of Twitter data (1,000,000 tweets; 1,113 quotative instances). Special attention is paid to how users of Twitter employ the platform’s affordances to animate their speech reports – i.e. to represent voices, enact body language, or otherwise ‘dramatize’ the speech reports. The aim is to investigate how a linguistic format which is richly embodied in face-to-face interaction gets ‘re-embodied’ on Twitter. The study finds that animation of reported speech on Twitter is visually, and predominantly typographically, afforded. In the material, oral practices are more frequently reconfigured and remediated rather than directly reproduced. That is to say, even when users are not reproducing spoken utterances, they often employ graphical strategies that are mainly understandable by analogy to spoken and embodied face-to-face interaction. However, users also draw on emergent online repertoires with no face-to-face analogues, such as ‘pure’ typographical play and the recruitment of established online memes. Thus, the findings suggest that orality lingers as a trace, but is not a necessary component, in bringing reported speech to life in a text-based computer-mediated setting.
