Textual paralanguage and its implications for marketing communications
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Both face‐to‐face communication and communication in online environments convey information beyond the actual verbal message. In a traditional face‐to‐face conversation, paralanguage, or the ancillary meaning‐ and emotion‐laden aspects of speech that are not actual verbal prose, gives contextual information that allows interactors to more appropriately understand the message being conveyed. In this paper, we conceptualize textual paralanguage (TPL), which we define as written manifestations of nonverbal audible, tactile, and visual elements that supplement or replace written language and that can be expressed through words, symbols, images, punctuation, demarcations, or any combination of these elements. We develop a typology of textual paralanguage using data from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. We present a conceptual framework of antecedents and consequences of brands' use of textual paralanguage. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

“Interestingly, online communication can contain 'textual paralanguage' (textual representations of nonverbal expressions, e.g.sigh, eye roll) which approximate the nonverbal cues of an in-person interaction[3].”

“We know that when we form perceptions, it is not just a cognitive process, but also an emotional (Loewenstein, 2000) and physiologic (Barsalou, 2008; Carney, Cuddy, & Yap, 2010) one.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
