Annotation

Although responsiveness is integral to agreements and disagreements, a smaller need to explicitly signal responsiveness exists when readers address bloggers. The article thus shows how specific social (the blog participation framework) and medium factors (message format and quoting) (Herring, 2007) are related to the linguistic implementation of disagreements and agreements.
