Abstract
The disconnect between CMC (computer-mediated-communication) and F2F (face-to-face) communication has been blamed on the absence of visual and physical nonverbal cues. Internet users converse online using textual and visual means which resemble F2F nonverbal cues. Emoticons, nonverbal vocalization, and memes serve as substitutes for F2F nonverbal communication in CMC contexts.
