A simple collection of learners’ online interaction data does not represent a scientific object, as Kern and Warshauer (2004) emphasised in the language learning field:– “Researchers must carefully document the

relationships among media choice, language usage, and communicative purpose, but they must also attend to the increasingly blurry line separating linguistic interaction and extra linguistic variables. […] Studies of linguistic interaction will likely need to account for a host of independent variable: the instructor's role as mediator, facilitator, or teacher …

Interactions wordsShort messages

Monika9 Malmo: I'm thinking about what I know about the Swedish culture. It's in many ways not very different from the American culture I think. Christie Penn: Monika9, be sure to use the zero artice. Monika9 Malmo: What is the zero artice? Christie Penn: It means no article. Monika9 Malmo: Hmm, I asked my teacher what it means, but she said I had to ask you again. Can you explain what it means to me? Christie Penn: That's okay. Don't worry about it for now. Can you write the next sentence? Monika9 Malmo: Okay, I'll continue. Monika9 Malmo: I think some Swedish literature is known in other countries. Monika9 Malmo: Do you know anything about Swedish literature? Christie Penn: Good. I don't know much I'm afraid. What can you tell me about it? Monika9 Malmo: Ah, I think I know what you mean with zero article now. You meant I shouldn't write "The American culture", it should be only "American culture", right?“

The element <posting> is the basic CMC-specific element in our schema. In CMC documents it represents the largest structural unit that can be assigned to one author and one point in time. The category posting is defined as a content unit that has been sent to the server “en bloc”. TEI and CMC, (Beißwenger et al., 2012)
