This paper deals with discussions within internet (usenet) newsgroups. These discussions can be described as computer-mediated or ‘on-line’ polylogues. We observe that the specific features of newsgroups (computer-mediated communication,…

Most past studies assume that computer-mediated communication (CMC) lacks nonverbal communication cues. However, Internet users have devised and learned to use emoticons to assist their communications. This study examined emoticons as a…
