ABSTRACT
Computer-mediated communication has become a way of living in modern society. Little research has been conducted on dyadic chat room talk between familiars. Conversation analysis was employed to analyze data collected from the author’s friends and colleagues who conversed via QQ.com in Chinese with their family members over a period of half a year. It was revealed that dyadic chat room talk between family members observed three closing moves: closing implicative topic(s), initiation of new topics (optional), and an exchange of terminal close. But due to intimacy, it featured the exclusion of pre-closings and a typing of the talk as in the general schema, the moves out of closing such as arrangements or solicitude and the refusal to the initiation of closing.
KEYWORDS
closing moves, dyadic chat roomtalk, online family discourse
