Annotation

This paper explores the link between discourse markers and turn-transition strategies in face-to-face interaction and Instant Messaging (IM), that is, spontaneous, real-time, text-based, computer-mediated communication. It contributes to the evidence that communication in IM resembles speech more than writing.
