Communicative Intricacies in Reality Television Romantic Tujuane Dating Episode
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Language is fundamental in any form of communication whether verbal or non-verbal. In a relationship, language is crucial from the moment people first meet, progressing to courtship and marriage or subsequent sustainability of the relationship. The choices of words as well as the nonlinguistic cues play important roles in the process of interactional communication. To unravel such communicative intricacies, Tujuane, a dating programme on KTN, a Kenyan Television Channel forms the basis for such data. It may be said that whenever people come together for the purposes of interaction, their nature of speech changes significantly. This change may or may not be for the purposes of accommodating the partner in communication This paper makes an attempt to delve into how the choice of words and nonlinguistic cues on a first dating episode may affect the future of a potential romantic relationship. Keywords: Dating, Interaction, Accommodation, Relationship.
