1.What are the main points of the Coordinated Management of Meaning Theory?

- refers to how individuals establish rules for creating and interpreting meaning and how those rules are enmeshed in a conversation where meaning is constantly being coordinated.

- it focuses on the relationship between an individual and his or her society.

- focuses on the self and its relationship to others;

- it examines how an individual assigns meaning to a message.

- CMM theorists propose six levels of meaning: content, speech acts, episodes, relationship, life scripts, and cultural patterns. As you read about the levels, keep in mind that higher levels help us to interpret lower-level meanings

2. What types of meaning breakdowns have you experienced in your conversations with others? Be specific and identify the context, the situation, and the conversation topic.

One day I and my friend misunderstood each other. It was unwillingness to understand the feelings of another person. On that day we were going to go to the cinema. But later I have a headache. My friend called me and we hаd the following conversation:

- "How are you?"

- "The head is splitting"

- "I see. Well, we will go to the cinema in the evening, do you remember? "

- I'm not going, I feel bad

- Oh, come on! It will be great movie

- I told you, I have a headache

-Is this an excuse not to go? We are only a week ago had planned to go with friends on his film

- You probably can not hear me! Go yourself, without me

- Well, then see you

3. Discuss the specific ways in which any component of CMM has practical value to you as a university student.
