A Brief Analysis to Informal Chatting on the Phone

An analysis to the telephoning chat is often ignored by analysts as it is very common and very colloquial. In my opinion, however, it differs to the spoken language in daily lifein some aspects. For example, it has two parties connected by a line, the speakers talks in deferent places and may do different things. So in analyzing the discourse, such factors as field,tenor, and mode, skipping and coherence, reference and presupposition in study the context are to be emphasized. The third part of this paper gives an example to show one method toanalyze the informal chatting on the phone. It also mentions some practical applications of the analysis to this style of discourse in the conclusion part.
