[Air-l] Turn-taking in email

[Bernie Hogan]

Hi Christian, 

Thanks for your response on turn-taking. The papers I was referring to are
as follows:

The MSR Community Technologies Group have been working with an analysis of
communication in newsgroups for some time. Here are a couple selected
publications:  
Fisher, D. (2005). Using Egocentric Networks to Understand Communication.
IEEE Internet Computing, 9(5), 20-28.

Smith, M. (1999). "Invisible Crowds in Cyberspace: Measuring and Mapping the
Social Structure of USENET", in Communities in Cyberspace edited by Marc
Smith and Peter Kollock. London, Routledge Press, 1999

Members of HP Information Dynamics Lab have done a large number of studies
on online information patterns as well. Their work is generally more
mathematically demanding. The paper I alluded to was:
Loch, C. H., Tyler, J. R., & Lukose, R. (2003). Conversational Structure in
Email and Face-to-face Communication. Working Paper.
(this might be published somewhere, but I got it from the website)

Rebecca Warner's work in psycholinguistics has focused on vocal activity and
turntaking (namely when do people pause and why, and what are the
consequences of these pauses).

McGarva, A. & Warner, R. M.  (2003).  Attraction and social coordination:
Mutual entrainment of vocal activity rhythms.  Journal of Psycholinguistic
Research, 32, 335-354.

Warner, R. M. (1996).  Coordinated cycles in behavior and physiology during
face-to-face social interaction.  In J. Watt and A. VanLear, (Eds.), Cycles
and dynamic patterns in communication processes.  Newbury Park, CA:  Sage.

Thanks again, 
BERNiE
