摘要:This paper aimed at investigating humor in text-based computer mediated communication(CMC). To this end, 200 turns exchanged by a number of 50 English language teachers onViber, a messaging application, were randomly selected and analyzed based on Adam’s (2012)classification of humor to examine emoticons, punctuations (question mark, exclamation mark,and ellipsis), laughter (textual and acronym), formatting (spelling variations, capital/smallletters, and elongation), and explicit markers in the corpus. The findings showed that emoticonsoutweighed other humor markers while laughter rated the least used marker in the corpus.
