ArXi:2603.21038v1 Announce Type: new As text-based computer-mediated communication (CMC) increasingly structures everyday interaction, a central question re-emerges with new urgency: How do users reconstruct nonverbal expression in environments where embodied cues are absent? This paper provides a systematic, theory-driven account of electronic nonverbal cues (eNVCs) - textual analogues of kinesics, vocalics, and paralinguistics - in public microblog communication. Across three complementary studies, we advance conceptual, empirical, and methodological contributions.
