Abstract

This paper describes the advantages of computer-mediated communication networks (Internet, Bitnet, and Usenet) in the study of verbal interaction. Research involving observation and analysis of rumor transmission patterns is presented as an illustration. Issues related to the generalizability of findings and the ethics of observational research are also briefly discussed.
