This paper explores the use of mobile technologies in facilitating offline encounters, through a post-digital lens which posits the digital not as new or disruptive but as a ubiquitous and accepted part of everyday social connectivities. In the paper, we explore ways in which migrants draw on jointly assembled semiotic repertoires, affordances, and constraints of the digital space, as well as cultural knowledge and spatial relating, to establish common ground and an interpretative framework for engaging in ensuing offline encounters. Drawing on an interactional analysis of data from a large linguistic ethnographic project, we focus on how a group of Polish immigrants who live in different parts of London bring their offline contexts and socially or culturally motivated expectations into their interactions to facilitate alignment in interactional frames in the context of limited familiarity with each other. Overall, our analysis points to the role of group messaging in creating a digital prospection space in which a joint frame of reference can be interactively constructed in anticipation of an offline encounter.

后数字连接：在数字勘探空间中构建线下邂逅

本文通过后数字视角探讨了移动技术在促进线下交往中的应用，该视角认为数字不是新的或颠覆性的，而是日常社交联系中无处不在且被接受的一部分。在本文中，我们探讨了移民如何利用共同组装的符号库、可供性和数字空间的约束，以及文化知识和空间关系，为随后的线下接触建立共同点和解释框架。利用对大型语言民族志项目数据的交互分析，我们重点关注居住在伦敦不同地区的一群波兰移民如何将他们的线下环境和社会或文化动机的期望带入他们的互动中，以促进互动框架的协调。彼此之间的熟悉程度有限。总体而言，我们的分析指出了群组消息传递在创建数字探索空间中的作用，在该空间中，可以交互式地构建联合参考框架以预期线下相遇。
