Table of contents: title: This study examines the semiotics of interactivity in various language settings. Learning discourse, Malay dramatic-theatrical expression, Malay romantic exchange, and Malay proverbs are scrutinized beyond grammar in verbal communication. While language is in use each time one strikes a conversation, the indices behind speaker-listener-audience dynamics are influenced by the motion, verbal styling and speaker-hearer-audiences' (non) participative responses. Social identity emerges from varying communicative indices of discourse performing.; title: Performing verbal interaction in a particular style generates a reading reflexive of gender/identity/social group. By manipulating discourse performing speakers, listeners and by-gazers are able to switch social identities on the fly. Each time a semiotic index is altered the course of interaction changes. And the significance of socio-semiotics in interactivity hence becomes pressing when communication sours into conflict. The exploration of social grammar in a nexus of human-language-topic-audience opens a wider window of human interaction.; title: Malay Interactivity, Malay Pedagogy, Malay Social Grammar, Performing Identities in Malay, Pantun and Proverbs, Interactive Semiotics
