Text and conversation theory

Text and conversation theory is something you might use when you talk or write with other people. When you write or talk, it's important to think about how what you say might affect how someone responds. Conversation theory helps you come up with the best way to talk or write when communicating with others. It might mean using polite words, choosing the right words, or understanding the tone of the conversation so that everyone is on the same page. This way you can have a better and more productive conversation or exchange.
