Perturbation du cadre temporel et participatif de l’interaction sur les forums de discussion en ligne
Perturbation of the Time and Participation Framework of the Interaction on Online Discussion Forums

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to describe some disturbances of the traditional model of verbal in interactions developed on online discussion forums. The analysis focuses on the description of topics raised on French forums, where the interaction, once completed, is continued after a long period. The discussion can be restarted since the topic is open indefinitely, which allows to refer to any post at any time. From a theoretical point of view, this affects the basic parameters of the traditionally understood verbal interaction, namely its time frame (extension of the duration of the discussion), its structure (lack of closing formulas), as well as its participation framework. This practice, although unusual in face-to-face interactions, is quite natural and frequent in discussions on online forums.
