The paper defines the notion of comment as a communicative act that is not requested by the previous turn and conveys additional information to what has been said before, generally concerning an opinion of its Sender and possibly an evaluation. After distinguishing interpretative versus evaluative comments and focusing on the latter, we characterize a verbal comment as an informative or exclamatory sentence containing an evaluative adjective or other direct or indirect ways to express evaluations. Then, a qualitative study is presented on bodily direct and indirect comments in political debates.

Abstract

The paper defines the notion of comment as a communicative act that is not requested by the previous turn and conveys additional information to what has been said before, generally concerning an opinion of its Sender and possibly an evaluation. After distinguishing interpretative versus evaluative comments and focusing on the latter, we characterize a verbal comment as an informative or exclamatory sentence containing an evaluative adjective or other direct or indirect ways to express evaluations. Then, a qualitative study is presented on bodily direct and indirect comments in political debates.
