Banter, chit-chat, gossip, natter, tete-a-tete: these are just a
few of the terms for the varied ways in which we interact with one
another through conversation. David Crystal explores the factors
that motivate so many different kinds of talk and reveals the rules
we use unconsciously, even in the most routine exchanges of
everyday conversation. We tend to think of conversation as
something spontaneous, instinctive, habitual. It has been described
as an art, as a game, sometimes even as a battle. Whichever
metaphor we use, most people are unaware of what the rules are, how
they work, and how we can bend and break them when circumstances
warrant it.
