This includes technical factors that determine how much participation is possible on a given platform as well as the degree and forms of participation that can actually be observed. The chapter also addresses the relation between user involvement that results from interaction and other involvement strategies that can be found on social media, such as the presence of personal content and language of immediacy. It concludes with a case study that illustrates how different involvement strategies are combined in political communication on a social networking site. date: 2017 publisher: De Gruyter Mouton id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00031991 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110431070-002 ppn_swb: 1841487171 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-319912 language: eng bibsort: LANDERTDANPARTICIPAT2017 full_text_status: public series: Handbooks of Pragmatics volume: 11 place_of_pub: Berlin ; Boston pagerange: 31-60 isbn: 978-3-11-043969-4 (Druck-Ausg.); 978-3-11-043107-0 (Online-Ausg.) book_title: Pragmatics of Social Media edition: Zweitveröffentlichung editors_name: Hoffmann, Christian R. editors_name: Bublitz, Wolfram citation: Landert, Daniela (2017) Participation as user involvement.
