Compliment Interpretation

Compliment Interpretation is the pragmatic process by which a recipient infers the intended meaning, illocutionary force, and social implications of a compliment within a specific discourse context, distinguishing it from related speech acts through its focus on uptake, face-management, and speaker-addressee relational work.
