RECONSIDERING 'PURPOSE' IN LANGUAGE - TRANSACTIONAL AND INTERACTIONAL

10/4/2015

4 Comments

 
Below are two videos from the film 'Lost in Translation', about an American actor visiting Tokyo.  In this first clip, Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansson are at a restaurant.  Do they manage to order, despite not knowing Japanese?
The other video (below), from the same movie, is actually a 'deleted scene'.  Watch the scene and then answer the following questions below (in a 'comment'): 
  1. What is the difference between the first video and the second (for example, in terms of the nature of communication)?
  2. Which scene depicts a 'transactional' language situation?
  3. Which type of communication is highlighted most in textbooks: 'Interactional' or 'Transactional' - or both?
