This study examines how text-based mobile communication practices are performatively constructed as individuals compose messages key-by-key on virtual keyboards, and how these (Mobile interface theory: embodied space and locative media. New York, NY: Routledge) reflect the iterative process of constructing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. In doing so, this study reports on keystroke-logging analysis (see Writ. Commun. 30, 358-392) in order to observe how participants ( 10) composed text as part of everyday mobile communication for the period of one week, subsequently producing 179,996 individual keystroke log-file records. Participants used LogKey, a virtual keyboard application made exclusively for this study to run on the Android mobile operating system. Analysis of keystroke log-file data suggest that timing processes of composing text-messages may differ as participants messaged with different categories of interlocutors, composed on different communication applications, and composed paralinguistic features-such as variants of and Thurlow and Brown, (Discourse Anal. Online, 2003, 1, 1); Tagg, (Discourse of text messaging. 2012, Bloomsbury, UK)-at different turn-taking positions. This evidence suggests that keystroke-logging methods may contribute to understanding of how individuals manage interpersonal relationships in real-time (Please reply! the replying norm in adolescent SMS communication," in The inside text: social, cultural and design perspectives on SMS. (Norwell, MA: Springer), 53-73); (Beyond genre: closings and relational work in texting," in Digital discourse: language in the new media. (Oxford: Oxford University Press), 67-85), and suggests future direction for methodologically studying linguistic performances as part of text-based mobile communication.
本研究考察了基于文本的移动通信实践如何在个体逐键在虚拟键盘上输入信息时被能动地构建，以及这些实践（《移动界面理论：具身空间与定位媒体》。纽约，纽约州：劳特利奇出版社）如何反映构建和维系人际关系的迭代过程。在此过程中，本研究报告了按键记录分析（见《写作传播学》第30卷，第358 - 392页），以观察参与者（10人）在为期一周的日常移动通信中如何撰写文本，随后生成了179,996条个人按键日志文件记录。参与者使用LogKey，这是一款专门为本研究制作的虚拟键盘应用程序，运行于安卓移动操作系统。对按键日志文件数据的分析表明，撰写短信的计时过程可能因参与者与不同类别的对话者交流、在不同通信应用上撰写以及在不同话轮位置撰写副语言特征（如“和”的变体以及瑟洛和布朗，《话语分析在线》，2003年，第1卷，第1期）；塔格，（《短信话语》。2012年，英国布卢姆斯伯里出版社）而有所不同。这一证据表明，按键记录方法可能有助于理解个体如何实时管理人际关系（《请回复！青少年短信通信中的回复规范》，载于《文本内部：短信的社会、文化和设计视角》。（马萨诸塞州诺韦尔：施普林格出版社），第53 - 73页）；（《超越体裁：短信中的结束语与关系维护》，载于《数字话语：新媒体中的语言》。（牛津：牛津大学出版社），第67 - 85页），并为将语言表现作为基于文本的移动通信的一部分进行方法学研究指明了未来方向。
