UNDERSTANDING COMMUNICATION SETTINGS Lee McGaan We all know that speaking the same words in one location may not produce the same result as if they are spoken somewhere else. In most settings jokes are acceptable and they will get a laugh, but not at a funeral. Part of being "rhetorically sensitive" is knowing what kinds of messages are appropriate in which settings and being able to anticipate how your messages will be interpreted by others in various settings. The most important influence on WHAT IS APPROPRIATE and HOW MESSAGES ARE INTERPRETED is context. You can better understand communication events by becoming aware of the six kinds of context. All 6 kinds of context are present for EVERY act of communication; but in different settings one or another may become more important.
