TEXTiT project: Texting in Time
At what intervals do we read, send and receive messages via smartphone apps?
Which messages are replied to immediately and which are only read and left unanswered?
How do different participants organize their interaction in group chats?
Our project is dedicated to the procedural design of everyday smartphone communication in German-speaking Switzerland and Germany. Its aim is to describe and analyze the processual nature of smartphone communication from an interactional-linguistic and sociolinguistic perspective.
Smartphone communication recorded by participants over a period of 14 consecutive days serves as the empirical foundation for the study. The data will be published in a database at the end of the project and thus made available to the research community.
