Abstract

This article puts forward the ‘mobile event’ – a communicative event mediated in part by mobile phone messaging – as a way of understanding how social actions are accomplished at the intersection of online and offline activity. It draws methodologically on an innovative approach to mobile mediated communication which analyses individuals' mobile conversations within the immediate physical spaces in which they unfold. Interactional analysis of selected mobile events carried out by a British couple points to the centrality of offline interaction within communicative events involving mobile conversations, as well as to the importance of ‘device attending’ as an organizing principle in the management of contemporary communicative practices at the online-offline nexus.

本文提出了“移动事件”——一种部分由手机信息介导的交流事件——作为一种理解社会行为是如何在线上和线下活动的交叉点上完成的方式。它在方法论上借鉴了一种创新的移动媒介通信方法，该方法分析了个人在其展开的直接物理空间内的移动对话。一对英国夫妇对选定的移动事件进行的互动分析指出，在涉及移动对话的交流事件中，线下互动处于中心地位，同时也指出了“设备参与”作为管理当代在线-线下联系交流实践的组织原则的重要性。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
