“…Research on computer-mediated conversation has documented how the structure of these interactions varies from that of spoken conversation, due to the constraints and affordances of the medium (e.g., Baron, 2010Baron, , 2013Beisswenger, 2008;Darics, 2014;Jacobs & Garcia, 2013;Lee, 2007;Markman, 2009Markman, , 2013Ong, 2011;Panyametheekul & Herring, 2003;Schonfeldt & Golato, 2003).
