摘要：With proliferous usage in CMC (Computer-Mediated Communication), textspeak (such as c u means see you) has become common words appears in email, SMS, IM, Blog and Twitter. Little research has explored how text-speak affects people’s intimacy when interacting through CMC tools. Thus, this study investigates whether social presence carried by textspeak affects people’s interaction. The results indicate that social presence is positively related to social interaction, which implies that people feel more intimate and the existence of others by using text-speak. The discussions and future directions are discussed.
