Résumé

The paper contrasts a monological approach to the analysis of mobile phone text messaging with a dialogical analysis which takes the interactive nature of text messaging as its starting point. Based on a corpus of dyadic text message dialogues, the "classic" text message format is compared to internet-based WhatsApp messages in a conversation-analytic approach. It is argued that WhatsApp messages differ from "classic" text messages not only in their multimodal variability. Writers also use different practices of marking off dialogues as separate entities. Moreover, different sequential patterns emerge in WhatsApp communication: Writers tend to send adjacency pair parts in separate messages which in some cases even leads to a pair-by-pair interaction.
