Summary/Abstract: The present paper is dedicated to observing the implications of language use in relation to a specific context. The interesting aspect about this type of investigation is that the context and the corresponding use of language are always extremely particular. The interaction between language and context produces a set of unique characteristics. The fact that language use is a very dynamic process, through the various ways it can be interpreted, through the various linguistic instruments used to achieve a goal, through the active impact it has on surrounding variables confirms why it is worthwhile studying. It is both useful and interesting to gain insight into how and why language is redirected. Rapport is an important element in noticing the real, tangible effects of language. Rapport may be viewed as an indicator of how language works because the two concepts reflect each other. The cause and effect relationship represents an important clue in shedding light on this matter. The research directed towards this area is likely to come up with answers that point to some fixed principles found during conversation. Those regularities may help in anticipating, to a certain extent, the associations made within communicative exchanges.
