"Although it might seem at first glance that contextualization cues are surface phe-nomena, their systematic analysis can lay the foundation for research strategies to gain insights into otherwise inaccessible symbolic processes of interpretation. On the practical level, the study of conversational inference may lead to an explanation for the endemic and increasingly serious communication problems that affect private and public affairs in our society. We can begin to see why individ-uals who speak English well and have no difficulty in producing grammatical English sentences may nevertheless differ significantly in what they perceive as meaning-ful discourse cues. Accordingly, their assumptions about what information is to be conveyed, how it is to be ordered and put into words and their ability to fill in the unverbalized information they need to make sense of what transpires may also vary. This may lead to misunderstandings that go unnoticed in the course of an interaction, but can be revealed and studied empirically through conversational analysis. The main purpose of earlier chapters was to illustrate the nature of the cues and the inferential mechanisms involved. To that end, the discussion largely relied on examples of brief encounters. Miscommunications occurring in such brief encoun-ters are annoying and their communicative effect may be serious. But the social import of the phenomena in question and their bases in participants’ cultural back-ground is most clearly revealed through case studies of longer events. The fol-lowing two chapters present in depth analyses of two such events. To begin with, let me give one more brief example to illustrate the scope of the analysis and the subconscious nature of the interpretive processes involved. In a staff cafeteria at a major British airport, newly hired Indian and Pakistani women were perceived as surly and uncooperative by their supervisor as well as by the cargo handlers whom they served. Observation revealed that while rela-tively few words were exchanged, the intonation and manner in which these words were pronounced were interpreted negatively. For example, when a cargo handler who had chosen meat was asked whether he wanted gravy, a British assistant would say ‘Gravy?’ using rising intonation. The Indian assistants, on the other hand, would say the word using falling intonation: ‘Gravy.’ We taped relevant sequences, includ-ing interchanges like these, and asked the employees to paraphrase what was meant in each case. At first the Indian workers saw no difference. However, the English teacher and the cafeteria supervisor could point out that ‘Gravy,’ said with a falling intonation, is likely to be interpreted as ‘This is gravy,’ i.e. not interpreted as an offer but rather as a statement, which in the context seems redundant and con-sequently rude. When the Indian women heard this, they began to understand the reactions they had been getting all along which had until then seemed incompre-hensible. They then spontaneously recalled intonation patterns which had seemed strange to them when spoken by native English speakers. At the same time, super-visors learned that the Indian women’s falling intonation was their normal way of asking questions in that situation, and that no rudeness or indifference was intended. After several discussion/teaching sessions of this sort, both the teacher and the cafeteria supervisor reported a distinct improvement in the attitude of the Indian workers both to their work and to their customers.
