second message (if, for example, no responses were posted for the initial question after
a certain time) or if the first five turns involved only interaction between P1 and the
person who initially replied (P2), or if P1 did not reply as the second, third, fourth, or fifth
posting.
2) Describe the language function of the original posting. (Was it a piece of
advice, a request for information, a general message about the topic with no clear
language function, etc.?)
3) Describe the language function of the second posting. (Was it a reply to the
initial message? If so, did this second posting seem like a logical follow-up to the first
posting? If not, explain the circumstances or anything that seems relevant).
4) Describe the participants use the grammatical second person with each other?
For example, do they use tu (or related forms such as toi, ton, ta, tes), or do they use
vous (or related forms such as votre, vos), or is it a mix of both tu and vous forms?
5) If a vous form is found, describe whether it seems to be vous singular or vous
plural. (How can you tell? Give an example or two from the forum to demonstrate the
difference between vous singular and vous plural from).
6) Describe any violations of the forum's rules (if found in the thread), by
providing one or two examples.
7) Describe any social conflict or disagreement about anything demonstrated by
forum participants by providing one or two examples.
8) Describe how active the forum seems to be. (Are there new postings every
few seconds, every few minutes, or only every few hours or days?).19
