Blog 13

The transcript that I have chosen to use is the Chat Room transcript.

Language Moves:

  • S is the interviewer
  • A is the interviewee 
  • S asks questions that A is able to answer questions with long answers.
  • Both S and A seem to be comfortable with each other.
  • A brings up stories from his/her past to answer S's questions.
  • It seems that as the interview went on, S changed his/her questions because his/her planned questions were no longer necessary as A continued answering the questions with interesting stories.
Discourse:
  • It seems that S and A are both in the discourse of social media. 
Research Question:
  • Did it help that A was comfortable with S as he/she answered his/her questions?
Evidence:
  • Normally when interviewers ask someone of a personal experience, it usually makes the interviewee uncomfortable to answer that question but it seems S made the conversation comfortable enough that A was comfortable to answer his/her questions.
  • S, the interviewer, laughed multiple times.
  • Both S and A seem to understand computer terms so they are able to continue the conversation.
