Description

This chapter presents the way in which speakers project an impression (intentionally or not) toothers during the course of an interaction. Moreover, it analyzes the ways in which participants might seek to manage the impression of themselves that they put across.  Contextualisation cues provide a way of ‘signalling’ to another person the way in  which a particular utterance should be interpreted; however, such cues often rely  on shared cultural assumptions, and their significance can therefore be missed (or  misunderstood) in situations where people do not share the same underlying  assumptions and expectations. Finally,  the many levels at  which discourse can be defined and analysed are considered and examined.
