Cues have long been an important concept in computer-mediated communication (CMC), as several core theories have utilized cues to explain how they get filtered and interpreted through technologies. As computing technologies evolved, other related fields have also adopted cues as a concept for understanding technological interaction. Given the pervasive nature of cues, this article first explicates the concept and creates a typology of cues based on how different fields have studied them. It then examines key differences in how existing theories approach cues and their assumptions behind cues, and further pulls apart the relationship between different cue categories and their potential effects on social presence. Lastly, we explain how researchers could draw on this typology to understand the increasingly multifaceted ways that emerging media technologies present cues and evoke social presence. A clear typology of cues is necessary both to clarify the term and help guide future evolutions of CMC.

提示：理解新兴媒体技术的类型

提示长期以来一直是计算机介导通信（CMC）中的重要概念，因为一些核心理论已利用提示来解释如何通过技术过滤和解释提示。随着计算技术的发展，其他相关领域也采用线索作为理解技术交互的概念。考虑到提示的普遍性，本文首先对提示进行了说明，并根据不同领域对提示的研究方式创建了提示的类型。然后，它研究了现有理论如何处理线索及其背后的假设的主要差异，并进一步拉开了不同线索类别之间的关系及其对社会存在的潜在影响。最后，我们将解释研究人员如何利用这种类型学来理解新兴媒体技术呈现线索并唤起社会存在的日益多元化的方式。明确的线索类型对于澄清术语和帮助指导CMC的未来发展都是必要的。
