Animate Drawn Lecture Steven Pinker



Notes; 

  • Indirect speech act- listener read between the lines and infer real intent; Pragmatics/implied meaning
  • Language has to convey 
  • Use politeness strategies e.g. the guacamole situation in the video 
  • Dominance- communality- reciprocity : different situations are appropriate 
  • Innuendos, even when obvious, hard to know when people understand
