Concept information

Preferred term

social and linguistic processes in chat rooms  

Definition(s)

  • When face-to-face communication takes place, there is co-presence: The participants are in the same place at the same time, using both speech and nonverbal messages to make themselves understood. Those communicating in computer-mediated chat, or online chat, on the other hand, are separated geographically but logged in simultaneously to a virtual chat room.
