"This paper concerns the complexity of language of on-line asynchronous communication. Two corpora of a similar size are compared where students' contributions were collected. They represent two on-line asynchronous forums which supported two courses of the TEFL Programme. Since the discussions had different topics and objectives, the way of communication and language structures also differed. The findings showed that the length and structure of messages are significantly influenced by the purpose of the forum; sentences within the forum which focused on social interaction are shorter, less complex and similar to face-to-face dialogues, while those in the forum which focused on topic discussion tend to display features of partly independent monologues."@en . . . .
