Phatic communication is “a type of speech in
  which ties of union are created by a mere
   exchange of words” and its purpose is to
establish and maintain the social bonds of the
       interlocutors (Malinowski, 1923)
Phatic, small talk = linguistic ping
   • establishing and maintaining connection with others
   • a social, communicative, and validation/recognition function
   • indexical information for social categorization
   • negotiating the relationship (relative status,roles,and
   affectivity)
   • reinforcing social structure (Philip Riley)
   • keep harmony and balance in the community

                ‘’Watching Titanic. Bored’’

(Steve, 58): We are poking all the time. For a long
time. It means someone likes you or someone
remembered you and wanted to say ‘’Hi’’


(Philip, 26): “Someone is thinking of you. By poking
              they are letting you know.
          Poke is like a substitute for touch’’
