I was speaking with Anders about some of the interesting features that add to/represent coherence in blogging. Linking, for example, plays a large role in adding a third mental space in language processing which is both physical/virtual and mental. Within my research plan, I plan to outline an article about the discourse in blogging. How far can a string of discourse go before breaking down? How many blogging areas can it exist in before it becomes too difficult to process? How do different strategies of coherence come into play? I think I will now go sit in the bathtub and read the chapter on coherence in my Cambridge, Discourse analysis book. I will finish my first draft this week and send it off for review to several people. When it is finalized, I will post it here. I would love to get comments from the blogging linguistic community on electronic discourse.
