Digital Conversation Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Digital Conversation Analysis

Digital Conversation Analysis (DCA) applies the systematic, turn-by-turn analytical procedures of Conversation Analysis (CA) to digital and computer-mediated interactions — including chat logs, social media threads, instant messages, and online forums. Rooted in the foundational CA framework of Sacks, Schegloff, and Jefferson, DCA adapts classical concepts such as turn-taking, adjacency pairs, and sequential organisation to account for the asynchronous, multimodal, and textual character of online communication.
