*Ask the average person about forms of online communication, and he or she will probably tell you about email, newsgroups, and chat-rooms. The average person is not always aware of another, lesser-known form of communication: talkers. Talkers were developed alongside chat-rooms as online communication began to become popular with the general population. They began as MUDs (multi-user dimensions) and were originally online role-playing games, where each person logged in with a particular persona. Of course one feature of these games was the conversation that the characters had to use in order to work through the game together. This conversation eventually became the main focus for some users, and from these beginnings sprang talkers, which can be loosely defined as MUDs focused primarily on chatting to other people online (Goodman 127).
Since general knowledge of talkers is not as widespread as that of chat-rooms, they tend to have fewer people connected to them at any one given time. For most small talkers, their residents (regular users, more commonly known as "spods") are permanent characters who use the talker on a very regular basis. Many of these spods know each other in their everyday lives, and their online communication often refers to events that they have shared together. Compared to popular online chat-rooms, which, because of their popularity, can have thousands of new users each day, conversation between spods on talkers is often more concerned with continuing real-life events, since many of the users talk to each other online daily.
For the novice, initial usage of a talker can be somewhat bewildering. All main-room conversations appear on the screen in the order in which they were typed; many times one must pay close attention to what others say online in order to make any real sense of what appears on his or her screen. To ease the transition into the language and usage of talkers, many spods have posted online "introductions" to talkers in order to aid those who are new to this form of communication. One excellent example of such, taken from a spod’s homepage, is provided below:
"talkers
if you have used talkers much, then this page is probably not for
you. beginners, or those with little experience, read on...
what is a talker then?
well, basically it is what its name says. it allows people all around
the world to 'speak' to each other in a similar fashion to using the
telephone, but with advantages. the talkers allow you to talk to a
single person, a group of people, or everyone in the same 'room' as
you.
talkers work by allowing lots of people (some talkers have up to
400 people connected at times) to connect to a computer
somewhere on the planet, and then this central computer acts as a
sort of 'exchange' and takes all the incoming messages and sends
them out to the correct people.
how do I connect to a talker?
firstly, you have to be connected to the internet. that might sound
obvious, but if i didn't put it you could guarantee someone would
try...
you need to run a 'telnet' client on your computer. most internet
providers give you a telnet program when you subscribe. you can
use this, but there are better packages that allow multiple
connections (i.e. loadsa talkers). for now stick with one world
though, it's much simpler at first.
when you run your Telnet program, it asks for a 'host' to connect
to. this is the internet address of the talker you wish to use. the
address takes the form of and address, and a port. the port is
necessary, because some computers run multiple talkers, and you
want to connect to the right one. your telnet program may have
seperate areas for address and port, but if it doesn't then simply
put the two on the same line, but with a space between them. that
should work. press enter, wait a while and you should get a
message saying that you are connected, usually consisting of a
nice logo or something.
now what?
well, you are connected, and must enter a username. think of a
name for yourself. it can be your real name (not recommended), a
nickname, or just something you thought of on the spur of the
moment. keep it clean, and relatively short if possible. if, after you
enter your name it asks for a password, you have probably chosen
a name already in use, so pick another one. there ARE exceptions
to this rule, where talkers ask for a password even from new
users, so your best bet is to put a password in, and if you were
using a name already in use, then the talkers will say 'wrong
password' and end the connection.
now, you will be shown screenfulls of rules and other stuff. if you
want you can read these... mostly they are common sense. you
will be prompted to press enter or y a few times... do this. it may
also ask you if you are sure that you wanted to use the name you
first entered. answer as appropriate. finally you will probably be
prompted to enter continue or end. if you want to carry on,
enter continue.
well done... you have made it onto a talker for the first time.
i'm logged in... now what?
well, firstly, if you want to use this talker again, you must become
a 'resident'. this means that you will not have to go through all the
information screens at the start, and it will prevent others using
your name. it also enables you to have rooms of your own, but that
is an advanced feature. before you do anything you need to know
some comands. type help to get help on commands. the main
command you will need now is tell which, fairly obviously
enables you to tell someone something. to get residency you need
to ask a super user. to find out which super users are on at the
moment, type lsu. pick an su off the list and ask them for
residency. to do this type:
tell repton can I have residency please?
here, you would change repton for the name of a su who is
connected. they will then ask you a few questions and help you do
what is necessary. if in doubt ask a super user, it is their job to
help people who are confused, and most of them are friendly. you
will need to read the help system, type help to see how it works.
there are loads of commands, but you only need a few, usually on
the first help page or two. you can now proceed to talk to people,
and generally enjoy yourself.
useful stuff
talkers use shorthand in a similar fashion to CB users.. here is
some of it...
brb = be right back
bbl = be back later
bbs = be back soon
be4 = before
lol = laughs out loud
rotfl = rolls on the floor laughing
some1 = someone
ppl = people
these are some of many... if in doubt ask!
lag is another thing often mentioned. if a talker is lagging it means
that the data you type is taking a long time to get to whoever you
are telling. this is not good, obviously, but the internet is very slow,
and some people run talkers on slow machines that slow down
when they get busy.
so, what talkers are there?
loads. there are , literally, HUNDREDS of talkers running around
the world. i have included the ones i usually use below, and if your
browser is set up properly (!) then clicking on the link should take
you there...

if you see me, repton, be sure to say hello!" (Everett)
II. Standard Language Features
A. Features of Written Language
Before looking at the features of the language of spodding, one needs to have a thorough understanding of the properties of both written and spoken language, since online communication seems to include both written and spoken qualities. As Rebecca Hughes states, "[s]peech and writing usually take place in very different contexts. These contexts can be described both in terms of the contexts of production and the influence of the context of reception" (123). In other words, the language choices made in both written and spoken discourse are influenced by the medium of communication and the presence or absence of active participants in the discourse.
Written language, even when informal, is generally more formal than spoken language. Writers have the opportunity to edit the words they put on the page, and often they do this several times before allowing others to read their written work. As Biber states, research indicates that "all informational discourse, technical or not, has a high lexical variety in contrast to interactive, affective types of discourse . . ." (112). This indicates that people make different word choices when writing than when speaking. For example, a written text usually has grammatical cohesion, a high lexical density and consistent verb tenses throughout the text (Hughes 29; Carter 165-246). Careful writers often use a high number of synonyms throughout a long document in order to provide variety for the reader, but they also use clever repetition in order to make specific points.
Since one person generally writes texts that are read by another at a later date, the informal written text most often takes on characteristics of a kind of written monologue, in either first or third person. Also, because of the possible limitation of a reader’s full understanding of a written text due to elapsed time, written texts generally must include additional explanations of the concepts or topics that they address—explanations that might be entirely unnecessary if the same concepts were spoken aloud to a physically present audience. Furthermore, even though a writer often takes account of his or her intended audience, writing is not usually, like speaking, actively influenced by an audience’s response.
Biber sums up these points thus: "[I]n terms of its linguistic characteristics, stereotypical speech is interactive, and dependent on shared space, time, and background knowledge; stereotypical writing has the opposite characteristics" (37). Similarly, the use of deixis is different in written texts than spoken texts. In written texts, "here," "that," "then," and similar words must be obviously defined with other words, usually before the deictic word is used. The written requirement for an explicit definition is in direct contrast to spoken discourse, where a simple pointing motion while the deictic word is spoken will often suffice.
Unlike most informal spoken interactions, written texts usually have a specific focus, or at least a definite structure. For example, newspaper articles center on one event, whereas letters center on several events but still work within a recognizable "letter" format. Although Biber states that personal letters "are typically produced under self-composed time constraints, and thus do not show careful word choice or a high informational density" and show "many of the same interactive and affective characteristics of conversation" (132), writers of personal letters must take account of the proximity of their reader in space and time. This proximity usually limits the "conversationality" of a text—written language, even the language of personal letters, usually functions best in the context of sentences that contain both subjects and predicates.
B. Features of Spoken Language
Spoken language, on the other hand, is usually less formal than written language. An exception to this rule is found in public spoken discourse, such as speeches, news broadcasts, and lectures. In these cases, however, the words that are spoken are usually written down beforehand, so they are either memorized or read from notes or cue cards. These types of speech are not representative of most spoken discourse. Biber states that "in terms of its linguistic characteristics, stereotypical speech is structurally simple, fragmented, concrete, and dependent on exophoric (situation-dependent) reference . . ." (37).
Spoken texts generally have a much lower lexical density than written texts, and verb tenses often vary throughout spoken discourse, especially during story-telling. As McCarthy shows, when telling a story, speakers usually begin with past tense verbs. As they move toward the middle of their stories, they often switch into the "historical present," where "events which are assumed to be past . . . because of the surrounding context are given present tense verbs" (Hughes 105), and at the end of the stories they return to their original past tense verbs. Acceptance of these phenomena are limited to oral narratives; the same listeners who readily accept oral narratives with the features described above would probably consider a written story with low lexical density and shifting verb tenses to be of substandard quality.
Deixis is a substantial part of spoken discourse. As Halliday asserts, "[w]ithin the actual words and sentences used there is bound to be much that is particular to the local situation or the shared experience of the individuals concerned" (62). It is easy for a listener to understand a speaker who says "Put that down right there" because both the speaker and listener share the same context. In fact, it would be unnatural for a speaker to say to a mover holding a vase, "Please put that blue vase on the round table" when there is only one vase and one table present. For the same reason, many parts of spoken speech are eliminated through the process of ellipsis, and utterances often lack a subject or predicate for brevity’s sake.
In conversations, speakers interact with and are influenced by the others involved in the conversation, so one person’s word choice is highly influenced by what he or she knows of his or her audience. Like writers, speakers often use the same words repeatedly; this repetition is usually not a stylistic device but rather a choice to use the simplest or shortest words that will explain a concept. Also, informal spoken conversations do not necessarily maintain any kind of specific focus throughout. Instead, a conversation will flow from topic to topic easily, with speakers taking turn-taking cues from each other, each drawing on what the other says and speaking whatever comes into his or her mind at the moment. As Hughes states,
"[i]n the face-to-face, spontaneous interactions of human beings we can witness the means by which personalities are projected on to the world and relations developed. The contributions—the initiating remarks, responses, jokes and laughter—. . . show little evidence of pre-planned speech, and, while the talk does conform to some of the typical regularities of exchanges (question and answer, and so on), the precise nature of the sample and the way it unfolds are governed and shaped by the people who are involved." (17)
A. Aspects of Written Language in Spodding
Spod language, because it is produced in a written medium, has some characteristics of informal written discourse. To communicate with another spod, a user will type a line or group of lines of text that will then appear on the other spod’s screen. These lines are defined for the purpose of this study as "utterances." The most obvious way spods can create written characteristics in their language is through usage of standard spelling, capitalization, and punctuation in order to make their online utterances recognizable as complete sentences. In the log from Amnesia House (AH), lines 403 to 404 contain this utterance:
> Lir tells you 'Sometimes we were inseperable, and kt seemed to think that we were forever. She
is very cool, but being together, that close, was wrecking my head. We're still friends.'
This utterance contains three complete sentences, mostly standard capitalization (the use of "kt" for "Katie" will be addressed later), and lexical choices that would be fairly sophisticated for spoken discourse, though not unfeasible. Spelling errors such as "inseperable" for "inseparable" are common in informal written texts. These sentences easily could have been found in a letter to a friend.
As stated above, Biber said that personal letters "do not show careful word choice or a high informational density" and show "many of the same interactive and affective characteristics of conversation" (132). These characteristics apply to the language of spodding as well. Surfers 96-97 contains:
Cracker asks 'I have to fire someone at work tonight. Anyone got
any suggestions about how I should do it?'
This is an example of how spodding shows "interactive and affective characteristics of conversation" even in its written state. Cracker’s utterance contains two complete sentences with standard spelling, punctuation, and capitalization, but the grammar of his utterance is closer to that of conversation. "Anyone got any suggestions . . . ?" is a fairly common grammatical construct in informal conversation, but if this were a formal written request for advice, it would probably read "Does anyone have any suggestions about how I should do it?" Even so, Cracker’s utterance could, like Lir’s, be found in a letter to a friend or group of friends.
Of course, sometimes spods create utterances that are entirely in written mode simply because the utterance works best with written features. One example of this is found in AH 657-658:
- Lir says 'Winter is cool, but around Feb/March I start to crave some sun. I hate the heat, but
without the summer I would have done something bad to myself a long time ago.'
Lir’s statement is entirely in written mode, and it expresses the meaning of the utterance perfectly well, especially as using written mode gives Lir the option to abbreviate "February" to "Feb" and to use the "/" symbol as a quick replacement for either "and" or "or." Lir was able to combine two related sentences into one utterance. If a spoken mode had been used for these two sentences, the point would still have been made; however, the sentences would probably have been split into two separate utterances, which would have been less efficient for transmitting the overall significance of Lir’s statement.
Occasionally, spods will use exaggerated features of written discourse in order to produce a sarcastic tone. Akin to a teenager’s derisive response such as "Of course, mother dear, I would be thrilled to obey you" or an exaggeratedly polite letter of complaint, these types of remarks are obviously meant to express precisely the opposite of the words that are actually said or written. For example, after several lines of minimal dialogue in Surfers, this utterance appears in line 467:
RavenBlack listens, enthralled, to the scintillating conversation.
Despite the words that signify speech, such as "listens" and "conversation," this remark is exaggeratedly "written." In fact, the lexical choices and the punctuation are so written in style that no speaker would be likely to say this at any point in an informal conversation, even in a sarcastic manner. Since most spods think of spodding as engaging in a continuing "conversation," RavenBlack’s utterance was probably created, whether consciously or not, to highlight the fact that the conversation had stopped. Only RavenBlack was left typing; therefore, RavenBlack was no longer involved in a conversation, but rather a written monologue. RavenBlack’s lexical and stylistic choices convey this change in role effectively. According to Levinson’s Goffman-based framework, RavenBlack’s role has changed from that of a comfortable participant/speaker with definite recipientship to that of an uncomfortable speaker who may or may not have addressees (172-173)!
At times spods use features of written language in order to express certain ideas more efficiently, and at times they omit features of written language for the same reason. One utterance that contains examples of both of these phenomena is found in AH 593-594:
You emote : NiBLeT is finding it hard to walk and/or type with fingers, toes, and legs crossed all
the time
The above utterance, which is a figurative expression of the spod’s desire for another spod to win a contest, is a standard informal written sentence except for the lack of ending punctuation. NiBLeT used commas and even included an "and/or" construction, a convention of informal written language developed for efficiency, but left off the full stop at the end of the sentence. In fact, there is a scarcity of ending punctuation for declarative sentences throughout the spodding logs.
One explanation for this deficit is that a full stop as ending punctuation is actually unnecessary, as the end of a line will signify the end of an utterance. Lines that are questions or exclamations will always include a question mark or an exclamation point because they are different types of utterances, but a full stop is generally unnecessary—except, of course, in the case of several sentences strung together in one utterance. However, use or disuse of the full stop seems to be a purely personal stylistic choice, and, as can be seen in the logs, one spod might employ one convention in one utterance and another in the next.
In a strange combination of written and spoken modes, some spods occasionally use the conventions of written language to amplify the "spokenness" of an utterance, even though the utterance would already be considered to be in a spoken mode because of other aspects of the sentence or sentences. Ironically, adding conventions of written language in order to point out the spod’s intended spoken mode only serves to enhance the utterance’s written medium. For example, Surfers 506 contains this utterance:
RavenBlack doesn't remember the theme tune. "Got the A-Team though. And Lost In Space."
The sentences that RavenBlack tries to enhance as spoken ("Got the A-Team though. And Lost In Space.") already contain enough features of spoken language for them to be considered "spoken" utterances. Specifically, they have ellipsis of the subject in the first sentence, the subject and verb in the second sentence, the substandard "got" for "I have" or "I have got," and the beginning of a sentence with "and" (which, although not unheard of in written texts, is much more common in spoken discourse). Despite all of these characteristics that could already define RavenBlack’s utterance as "spoken," RavenBlack expressed it in quotations—a specifically written convention—in order to make it more "correct" as a "spoken" utterance. However, in using this written convention, RavenBlack succeeded only in altering the utterance from spoken to written mode, which was precisely the opposite of the apparently intended purpose.
Occasionally, though, a spod will successfully utilize written conventions in an otherwise spoken mode in order to make a point quickly and efficiently. To say something quickly while speaking is easy; to type something quickly is not quite as simple. Consider the following example, found in Surfers 422, where the speaker needed to leave quickly because someone was waiting for her outside her flat:
You tell sebrina 'see you, "date" is here'
Sebrina is the sister of the speaker’s boyfriend, so for the speaker simply to tell Sebrina "my date is here" could have caused some confusion. However, to take the time to tell Sebrina something like "I must leave now because the person who is taking me to a film tonight who happens to be male . . . but is just a friend . . . is waiting downstairs" would not have been efficient.
In this case, the quotation marks around the word "date" signified the written convention of using inverted commas to call into question the validity of the word, thereby avoiding any possibility that Sebrina would mistakenly believe that the speaker had an actual date with any person other than Sebrina’s brother. Even though the utterance itself is largely in spoken mode, the addition of the written convention enhances the meaning of the utterance, and it makes it more efficient than any completely "spoken" utterance with the same meaning.
Spods pay attention to the words they use, and many spods try to correct their typographical errors. Such correction is usually not necessary since their meanings can usually be gathered from context, but the practice is widespread nonetheless:
} Santa's.Lovechild furry tells the friends of mog 'I think he worked his way down from aden and jordan to etheopia, but it's been a LONG time since I read the book. (s/etheopia/ethiopia/;)'
This example from Surfers 1401-1402 shows an utterance in mostly written mode in which the spod recognized a typographical error. Instead of starting the sentence over again, the spod chose to call attention to and correct the error at the end of the sentence with "(s/etheopia/ethiopia/;)," which is more or less short for "spell etheopia as ethiopia, silly me" (symbols such as :), :(, and ;), called emoticons, will be addressed later). This type of correction shows that spods value the written aspects of their discourse enough to make it "legible," despite the fact that it is already "understandable." Calling attention to the utterance itself, the phenomenon of metadiscourse, is loosely and roughly defined as "a separate level of information within the text" (Stainton 7), or, in quoting Crismore, "an author’s discoursing about discourse" (5). Stainton remarks that "[t]hose texts which require, and yet fail to employ the appropriate type and proportion of metadiscoursal features will be perceived by the reader as being stilted and difficult to read" (9-10). Spods correct typographical errors not because such correction is really necessary, but because they, as "writers," do not wish to alienate their "readers." However, like the use of ending punctuation, typographical error correction varies widely among spods. Obviously, those who tend to use a more "written" approach to spodding will correct errors more often than will those who employ a more "spoken" style.
Many groups of spod utterances could be considered both "written" and "spoken," because they contain complete sentences but are uttered in response to other spods and therefore require outside context in order to be fully understood. For example, AH 290-295 has this exchange:
- Lir asks 'Ouch, what happened?'
You emote : NiBLeT grins
- Iiiiiiit's MoOg says 'She typed rm <wrong filename>'
You emote : NiBLeT rm'd a file that had a longer filename but the same set of characters at the
beginning.
- Lir says 'Silly girl...'
Lir’s question is a complete sentence with standard punctuation and capitalization. In this sense it is a complete written utterance. The following utterances, which are responses to his question, are also (mostly) complete sentences. However, if the responses to previous utterances are considered separately, they each require contextual information in order to be considered complete. As Sinclair states regarding spoken discourse,
"[a] large part of the meaning of a sentence must always be determined by the context in which it is uttered, even when the most elaborated grammatical structures and most specific lexical items are employed. Much of everyday language use is not designed to be verbally explicit, direct and literal, but can achieve its ends in subtle ways by reliance on features of context and a listener’s procedures of interpretation using shared social conventions." (12)
According to this quote from Sinclair, even grammatically complex spod utterances will depend on their context to be understood. The necessity to consider outside context is mainly specific to spoken interactions, since any necessary contextual information is inbuilt for most written texts.
However, if one disregards the conversational meaning of the above set and considers only the linguistic aspects of the discourse, each utterance is a complete sentence in written form. MoOg’s utterance lacks an ending punctuation mark, but it does include additional punctuation ("<wrong filename>") in order to make his meaning explicit to his reader.
B. Aspects of Spoken Language in Spodding
While features of written language can be found easily in talker conversation logs, features of spoken language are much more prevalent. However, there is one very important feature of spoken discourse that is handled differently in talkers: "Conversation analysts generally recognize as true . . . [that] turn taking depends on subtle features of the utterance enabling a speaker to project the end of a prior turn" (Ford 171). While turn-taking is indeed an important part of talker conversation, spods do not need to "project the end of a prior turn" at any point. The end of a turn is usually the end of a line, unless the spod makes it clear (for example, in the case of long stories) that his or her turn will be extended. For example Surfers 135-151 contains this sequence of utterances:
Cracker says 'here is the situation, he punctured the freon carrying pipe to the ice machine. Why
I dont know...'
shelly says 'HAS ANYBODY SEEN BUFY'
JarJarBinks Alt says 'not today shelly'
net.platonic PhlebAs hasn't seen Buffy in ages
soulless callista asks 'he punctured it on purpose?'
JarJarBinks Alt says 'who did.'
shelly gets washed away in the surf.
* musicman mog runs away!!!
[mog has disconnected] [Friend]
Flint catches a wave into the shore.
Cracker says 'Think so. He was standing by the pipe with a opiece of the insulator inhis hand and the tech who came out said that it was a knife hole as he found a broken knife beside the machine and the knife tip fitted exactly into the hole...'
Cracker says 'draw your own conclusions.'
Flint steps onto Baile's Strand
soulless callista says 'well..that's pretty much grounds for firing.'
Cracker begins his story-telling sequence with "here is the situation" and ends the lines within the story with " . . . " to signify that the story is not finished. When he closes with "draw your own conclusions." he uses a full stop to indicate the end of his story. It is interesting to note that other conversations are able to continue during Cracker’s story. Since there is no danger of one’s voice not being heard, and since the symbols at the beginnings of lines allow spods to understand the context of each utterance, an advantage of the written medium of spodding is that one spod can be involved in several conversations at once without confusion.
Often, spods will take advantage of the presence of both written and spoken aspects of spodding. One way a spod might do this would be to combine features of a written medium with features of a spoken medium, but this combination is usually not deliberate. For instance, the utterance in AH 403-404, even though previously considered to be closest to written language, contains at least one representation of spoken discourse:
> Lir tells you 'Sometimes we were inseperable, and kt seemed to think that we were forever. She
is very cool, but being together, that close, was wrecking my head. We're still friends.'
Despite the overall written form of this sentence, Lir uses "kt" in place of the name "Katie." This replacement is a written representation of the sounds that one would make when saying the name. It is interesting that Lir uses a very written style throughout the conversation logs, yet does not write this name out in full or at least capitalize the shortened form. The choice to create a verbal illustration of this name indicates that Lir was, at least in part, thinking of this utterance in its spoken form—even though every other part of the utterance was created with a written framework.
One entirely "spoken" aspect of spodding is not actually spoken at all, but rather emoted. To emote is to create a written representation of what the spod is "physically" doing in the talker environment. Emotes are a kind of representation of body language, which would otherwise be missing from online communication. Consider this utterance, from AH 56:
- Iiiiiiit's MoOg tum te tums
It is significant that MoOg did not say "tum te tum." When a person "tum te tums" in a face-to-face environment, that person is expressing boredom, not making a statement in the form of a sentence. For this reason, MoOg would be more likely to "tum te tum" as an action than to make "tum te tum" his statement to the room. (For the same reason, spods most often emote "person smiles" instead of saying "person says ‘I’m smiling.’") Unfortunately, one cannot know from a talker log the actual length of time between utterances, but one can generally gather from context that more time elapses between some utterances than others. MoOg’s "tum te tum" probably indicates that the conversation was moving slowly at that point.
As mentioned previously, spods also use emoticons such as :), :(, and ;), which show a smiling, frowning or winking face if turned sideways. There are hundreds of emoticons used in all kinds of electronic communication; the very basic :), :(, and ;) are not by any means the only emoticons used in spodding, but they are probably the most prevalent. Usage of emoticons can change the meaning of an utterance just as much as body language can change the meaning of verbal communication in spoken discourse. Zach’s utterance in AH 461 demonstrates the emoticon’s ability to change the meaning of a sentence:
> Zach doesn’t like you at all ;)
In this case, the symbol ";)" more or less signifies "just kidding." In face-to-face verbal interaction, the same utterance might have been accompanied by a wink or a smile, but the written medium of talkers limits the spod’s ability to express the fullest meaning of this type of utterance. Emoticons are popular in online communication because they fill in part of the gap that is created when spoken communication is constructed in a written medium.
Another problem with the spoken nature of talkers expressed in a written medium is that there is no way to hear intonation. As Brazil states, "[i]t seems hardly necessary to insist that intonation is correlated with discourse functions in various ways. What needs to be demonstrated, however, is that it is, in a considerable number of cases, the sole realization of a distinction that the discourse analyst cannot afford to overlook" (147). In other words, intonation is clearly an important part of discourse, and many times a spoken expression can mean something entirely different simply through a change in intonation. Spods recognize that a lack of intonation can lead to comprehension problems, and they have developed ways to work around it:
[ah] fenwick says 'however there *will* be a meet for me in december when i visit :o)'
This example, taken from Surfers 1037, has changed from a simple declarative statement ("there will be a meet [party] . . .") to a sort of command (there will be a meet . . . ." Because italics and boldface type are not always available for use in the talker situation, this change was achieved by simply setting the word "will" apart with asterisks. These asterisks, like italics, signify that the word would be stressed if the utterance were spoken. This type of utterance is common in spoken interaction—it signifies that the listener must accept the terms of the speaker’s declaration.
Emphatic material is also expressed in other ways, such as capitalizing all the letters of a word or sentence, using extra ending punctuation, or employing any similar method to set apart an utterance or part of an utterance from the rest of the conversation. Surfers 1036 shows an example of capitalization:
[ah] Pagan exclaims 'she's playing that BLOODY game boy!'
whereas AH 780 shows an example of excess punctuation:
- Sexy Fenwick exclaims 'be myself?!?!'
Neither of these utterances is in the form of standard written discourse, but both spods are very effective in visually describing what they want their readers to "hear" in their online voices. Through these new written conventions, spods have developed a written form of "intonation" that replaces the ability to hear these otherwise "spoken" utterances.
Spods may also take advantage of different phonetic spellings in order to create different types of "verbal" effects in their utterances. Consider AH 611,
- Sexy Fenwick says 'stop talking bout icecream hehe'
compared with Surfers 1302,
Santa's.Lovechild furry says 'muaha.'
Both of these utterances express laughter, but the type of laughter is different in each utterance. Fenwick’s "hehe" is an expression of genuine laughter, brought about by a general misunderstanding of a concept that is being explained, whereas furry’s "muaha" is supposed to be a representation of menacing laughter in reference to the usage of regedit. (Regedit is short for "registry editor," a program that can cripple the operation of one’s computer if used incorrectly.) The difference between their respective "meanings" of these two types of online "laughter" is obvious, thanks to the written distinction between their phonetic elements.
C. A Note Regarding Gender Issues
Is Fenwick male? Could MoOg be female? Obviously, spods cannot know the gender of other spods unless they are specifically told. Because of this ambiguity, gender issues have been addressed rather effectively in talkers—more effectively, in fact, than in standard written or spoken language. Even though grammarians have long recognized that there is a gap in the English language due to the lack of third-person singular gender-neutral pronouns, their response is not to work toward recognizing the set of plural pronouns as a non-gendered option, or to develop or work with already developed new sets of gender neutral pronouns (such as ey, em, eir, eirs, and eirself), but rather to "recast the sentence so the subject and verb are plural," "recast the sentence in the passive voice," "avoid the pronoun altogether," or "substitute a compound phrase [his or her]" (Harbrace 72-73), none of which will always be a satisfactory adjustment. Perhaps these options are less insidious than the lingering idea that male pronouns are sufficient representatives for all of humanity, but there should be a third-person singular gender-neutral option available for those who would choose to employ it. However, it comes as no surprise to some linguists that grammarians would resist such a radical change to the language, since the system of the English language is rooted in patriarchy:
"The [language and gender] controversy hinges on the degree to which one can say that the system of language projects sexist bias. One side of the debate views sexism in language as inherent to the system itself, and considers that by using a system which is intrinsically biased speakers and writers actively construct the inequality that exists between men and women in society. The other side proposes that sexism is encoded into language, either consciously or unconsciously, by users of language. In this way, linguistic practices will tend to re-inforce and naturalize sexist divisions in society. An underlying premise which is shared by both sides of the debate is the valid assumption that Western society is organized in terms of a patriarchal order." (Simpson 161)
According to Simpson, gender bias is inherent in both written and spoken language because of its basis in a patriarchal society. However, for spods and other "netizens" who have transcended the patriarchy and connected to cyber-reality, gender bias in language cannot be used for or against either gender, since knowledge of gender is never certain. When one connects to a talker, one usually has the choice of three genders: male, female, or neuter/plural. The third gender employs the set of plural third-person pronouns (they, them, their, theirs, themselves) for the singular character, thus sacrificing a small degree of grammatical accuracy for the comfort of those spods who feel that their gender is irrelevant to their ability to communicate with others. RavenBlack makes this point rather succinctly in Surfers 541-545:
I.Am.Satan MehLindi thought as much, Mr RavenBlack
RavenBlack asks 'Mr?'
[Sanman has connected] [Friend]
I.Am.Satan MehLindi says 'well, you look exceedingly male on your webpage'
RavenBlack says 'Oh, okay. But here I'm an it.'
IV. What Type of Language is Spod Language?
A. Compared with Written Language
Despite the various features of written language one can find in the conversation of talkers, spod language cannot be considered "written." Goffman listed some differences between written and spoken prose that illustrate this point:
"Some of the differences between written prose and spoken prose are these:
However, the "written text" of spodding rarely conforms to these characteristics of written language. As shown previously, correct spelling and punctuation is largely optional for many spods, and some actually take advantage of homonymic and homophonous features of the language in order to make their online conversation more efficient. Because of the sentence-by-sentence nature of spodding, "print conventions for laying out a text" such as paragraphs, chapters, and so forth are rarely needed, since spods develop points together in conversation rather than creating them unaccompanied.
Perhaps most interesting is that spods—although using a written medium—can easily "take liberties" with other online users because of the widespread use and understanding of emoticons and other methods for signifying one’s tone of voice and underlying meaning. In this way, spods, like speakers, can rely on their audience’s ability to "get the spirit of their remarks." Because of these largely "spoken" aspects of spodding, to define it simply as "written" language because of its written medium would be to ignore a large portion of characteristics that differentiate the language of spodding from the language of standard writing.
B. Compared with Spoken Language
Of course, because of the written medium of talkers, spodding cannot be considered "spoken" language either. In a similar fashion to Goffman, Sacks has set out characteristics of spoken communication:
"In any conversation:
Some of these characteristics are found in talkers: speakers change, turn order and size are not fixed, conversation length and topics are not fixed, and distribution of turns and number of parties are not fixed. Nevertheless, many of the other features that Sacks mentions do not apply to spod language.
As mentioned earlier, the written medium allows more than one conversation to be held simultaneously, and many times one spod will carry on two or more conversations on different channels. This means that more than one spod "speaking" at a time is not a problem. Also, turn-taking errors and violations do not exist, so the repair mechanisms that function to fix them do not exist either.
Also, turn-allocation techniques are rarely used. If one spod wishes to receive a response from a specific person, he or she will usually address that person in a direct tell. Occasionally one spod will address another personally in a main-room conversation, but when a public channel is used, any other spod is by default free to reply. In that situation, the first speaker has not selected the next speaker simply because he or she has addressed a spod by name. Similarly, one spod cannot self-select him- or herself as the next speaker after any utterance, since there is no way to know which other spods are typing responses simultaneously until they all appear on the screen. In most cases, the only way to self-select oneself as the next speaker is to type very quickly!
These lists of characteristics of spoken and written language pose a problem for any kind of strict definition of talker language. Since the language of spodding is in a written medium and therefore cannot possess many features of spoken language, it cannot be defined as "spoken" any more accurately than it can be defined as "written" because of its written medium.
As Chafe points out, writing and speaking have different properties because they are produced under different circumstances: "Speaking, of course, uses the medium of sound, writing that of sight. And speaking is typically produced in a face to face, interactive situation, writing typically in social isolation" (13). However, the circumstances that produce the written-spoken hybrid of spodding are just as distinctive. Spods use the medium of sight, like writers; however, their situation, though not face-to-face, is interactive rather than isolated, like speakers. The language of spods, therefore, is born of a combination of numerous aspects of two very different types of communication.
Unfortunately, because of the limited proportions of this study, in-depth investigation of significant specific linguistic issues, such as deixis and modality, were shelved in favor of the aspiration to provide a broad overview of the language of spodding. Even though electronic communication is a relatively new medium of communication and will doubtless merit the eventual development of its own linguistic criticism, today’s existing comprehension of the linguistic aspects of standard written and spoken media can be applied somewhat effectively to its language now. This overview of the language of spodding seems to indicate that spod language can only currently be defined as a spoken mode in a written medium.
Most importantly, though, all language—whether written, spoken, signed, or any combination thereof—is concerned with communication. Clear communication is aided by devices such as grammatical rules, rhetorical devices, body language, and even the efficiencies of computer neologisms. Human communication was the first reason for language, and language has developed alongside technology ever since. Human beings must interact with each other, so when two or more people have a conversation, they must work together to make their mutual communication effective and agreeable to each other—whether they are speaking, writing, or spodding. In any case, good communication is the ultimate goal:
"Unlike most written discourse and a good deal of spoken discourse like lectures, broadcasts, and speeches, a conversation is constructed and executed as it happens, by two people, feeling their way forward together. There is no going back, crossing out, rewriting and restructuring. This is particularly evident in the phenomenon known as repair, in which participants correct either their own words or those of another participant, edging toward a situation in which maximum communication is achieved."
