Abstract
This article builds on a range of work analysing interactive properties of text-based technologically mediated communication (e.g. email, internet relay chat, text messaging) which has revealed its deeply interactive properties. Based on a corpus of 1250 SMS text messages, it examines in detail the sequential organization revealed in extended series of text exchanges. Adopting methods and findings from conversation analysis, the study looks at the internal construction of texts as interactive artefacts, focusing on the production of both single-unit and multi-unit messages, and analyses how participants construct exchanges that show both similarities and differences with sequential organization in verbal conversation.
