Description
David Crystal explores the factors that motivate different kinds of talk and reveals the rules we use unconsciously in everyday conversation. From banter to gossip, he examines how we interact with each other through conversation.
Crystal shows us that conversation is not just spontaneous or instinctive, but also governed by rules that we often take for granted. By understanding these rules, we can bend and break them when circumstances warrant it, making conversation more flexible and effective.
This insightful book offers a fresh perspective on the art of conversation, helping us to better understand how language works in our daily interactions with others.
