Abstract

In this contribution, I describe the development process of my Masters thesis in which I investigated WhatsApp Voice Messaging through a multi-method approach, using Conversation Analysis in combination with ethnographic methods. This exploratory study allowed me to classify WhatsApp Voice Messaging within Susan Herring’s Faceted Classification Scheme for Computer-Mediated Discourse (2007). In the first part, I introduce Voice Messaging and provide some background for the reader to understand the elements founding the multi-method I used. Next, I describe my methodology step-by-step in a comprehensive way. Then I take the reader through a detailed analysis of three selected findings, assembling complementary results. Finally, I list the limitations of my methodology and provide some orientation for future research.
