Phatic Communion

寒暄交谈

A term introduced by the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski and used subsequently by many linguists to refer to language used for establishing an atmosphere or maintaining social contact rather than for exchanging information or ideas (e.g. comments on the weather, or enquiries about health).

人类学家布罗尼斯拉夫·马里诺斯基首先使用的术语，后来被许多语言学家使用，指用语言营造一种气氛或保持社会接触而不是交流信息或思想（例如谈论天气或询问健康）。
