Overview Metapragmatic signalling allows participants to construe what is going on in an interaction. Examples include: describing the "correct way" of using language ("I before E except after C."), specifying under which conditions a specific kind of communication are, or should be, used ("You should never tell a dirty joke at a funeral."), signalling , explicitly or implicitly, the type of social event occurring (explicit: "I promise to be there at 3:00 p.m." implicit: "I will be there at 3:00 p.m.") linking speech to another event outside the moment of speaking ("Every day she goes jogging." ).
