I thought I'd already missed the end as I couldn't connect before anyway, a quick last minute comment, I hope. I really enjoyed Camilla's article and appreciated the way she structured it to take us closer to the data so we could really see both the wood and the trees, as it were. Also like, others of you who have posted, I was fascinated by the exploration of time in these different online reviews. And I also saw lots of links both with a forum that I explored previously and reviews within a corporate home page that I have just started looking at. The forum I looked at before was a cycling forum that had threads that seemed to have quite different time scales as though time was streched or squeezed acording to the context. Ride threads, for example, were very time sensitive, in parts, especially around meet up time. There were also bike builds threads which had some parallel with the recipes as building and reporting didn't happen at the same time, though they were sometimes reported at different stages. On the other hand, there were some technical discussions where time was mainly used to mark the speaker's experience...a bit like the Tripadvisor reviews, perhaps. The online reviews I have started exploring are those of the Birmingham-based bicycle saddle maker Brooks, one whole sub-genre of which seem to be saddle narratives, recounting how they have lasted remarkable lengths of time and very much seeming to support the larger corporate narrative of the long lasting saddle, and traditional techniques.
Like, Tereza, I am very much interested in the time-space phenomena, but at the same time, and here is where I would welcome any further comment Camilla may have, I am intrigued by the way time gets tied up with evaluations, whether it is the evaluation of the durability of products, or the experience of a speaker. I wonder if Camilla sees any potential in attempting to explore adverbial/tense representations of time as an evaluative source or knows of any studies that have addressed this issue. I notice Camilla refers to a book that provides more detail on the data she uses for the study described in this paper, which I have not yet read and also worry that has already covered everything that I had hoped to explore in online reviews...ah, well!
