“…To reformulate, one may venture to claim that the hearer usually holds the speaker accountable for the import of an utterance, entertaining a backgrounded assumption that the latter intends to communicate it. The speaker's intended meaning underlying a given utterance 7 is what the hearer, whether or not consciously, aims to decipher when interpreting the speaker's utterance (Bilmes 1986), which subscribes to the premise that intentions underlying actions and utterances display degrees of consciousness, ranging from fully conscious to entirely subconscious ones (e. g., Stamp and Knapp 1990, Hample 1992, Gibbs 1999. It also seems reasonable to assume that the hearer construes the speaker's meaning on the strength of mutual knowledge and cues.…”

Setting our House in order: The workings of impoliteness in multi-party film discourse

The primary objective of this paper is to elucidate the workings of (intentional) impoliteness in multi-party film talk. The departure point is the diversification of hearer types, coupled with the premise that film discourse operates on two communicative levels, namely the inter-character level and the recipient's level, at which the audience interprets characters' conversations. It is thus argued that the speaker's impolite utterance may carry different pragmatic effects when directed towards (yet not necessarily targeting), and interpreted by, his/her interlocutor(s) (an addressee or a third party), overhearers (a bystander or an eavesdropper), or when face-threatening to a non-participant. Moreover, the recipient (i. e., the viewer), is yet another hearer category, for whose pleasure impoliteness is interactionally rendered at the characters' level. The theoretical proposal to extend the dyadic model of impoliteness is illustrated with utterances produced by Gregory House, the main protagonist of the television series "House."

“…The research in the past since 1995 has written quite so many about mindless communication, such as Burgoon & Langer (1995) and Hample (1992). Mindlessness in communication has been proven by Burgoon & Langer (1995) to create a rigid, thoughtless, ineffective communication through a usage of language use in social interaction.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has made people rely on the presence of the internet to run their business. Businesses, schools, retail, religious gatherings, and other components are all required to use an internet platform in some way. People can meet face-to-face and the feature of the contact is reinforced by both verbal and non-verbal communication prior to the viral eruption, making conversation much easier. The goal of this study is to emphasize the importance of being present during the COVID-19 Pandemic as well as the future projection of presence post-pandemic. Being present, as before the pandemic, comes effortlessly without conscious reflection because the interaction takes place offline without any restrictions. The result from this research that being present is the most crucial communication skill; it is the foundation of communication and can aid in more effective engagement on all levels (perception, comprehension, reasoning, memory, and production).

“…It is significant that while some actions may not be entirely subject to a person's full control (e.g., a grimace, whose quality is frequently idiosyncratic), they may be intentionally displayed and even produced to convey meanings (see Gibbs 1999: 85-88 for an overview). On the other hand, communicators' intentions underlying actions and utterances show degrees of communicators' consciousness, ranging from fully conscious to entirely subconscious ones (e.g., Stamp and Knapp 1990;Hample 1992;Gibbs 1999). There is a range of incidental gestures to which communicators are not consciously alerted but which are subconsciously intentional.…”

This article addresses the issue of non-verbal communication in the light of the Gricean conceptualisation of intentionally conveyed meanings. The first goal is to testify that non-verbal cues can be interpreted as nonnatural meanings and speaker meanings, which partake in intentional communication. Secondly, it is argued that non-verbal signals, exemplified by gestures, are similar to utterances which generate the communicator's what is said and/or conversational implicatures, together with their different subtypes and manifestations. Both of these objectives necessitate a critical overview of Grice's work on the focal aspects of meaning and communication, also on the strength of neo-Gricean research.
