Hi Warmers,
Calling off my development of a Theory of Talk. A series of books came gushing out in the mid to late 1980s by Suzette Haden Elgin called The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense. Can't tell how many she cranked out, but its a lot. Happened on The Last Word on TGAVS-D in one of the free libraries people have in their yards.
I recognized the series and knew my quest was over.
From p. 23: "In an ideal human language interaction, both persons involved would make every effort to adjust to each other in such a way that communication would be at its best."
That's it,
Revu2
