Season 6 Review and Test: Gestures, Politeness and Pragmatics in Twenty Questions | Understanding Indian English #120
Description
Season 6 went beyond sounds and words to the signals that surround them: the head wobble, nods on video calls, greetings, touch between friends, the right hand, pointing and beckoning, feet and shoes, eye contact and seniority, personal space, everyday hand signals, polite imperatives, "kindly" and the email register, the indirect no, hospitality, thanks and compliments, discourse markers, turn-taking, cross-cultural misreadings and a listening lab. This review brings the twenty episodes together in one place, highlights the five biggest ideas of the season, and finishes with a twenty-question test so you can check how well you now read Indian English beyond words.
