16. Communicative deviations
Communicative deviations caused by an addressor:
JANE
Shall I have the pleasure of seeing
Miss Fairfax tonight?
MRS. FAIRFAX
(turning with a puzzled
look)
Miss Fairfax? Oh, you mean Miss
Adele.
JANE
Isn't she your daughter?
MRS. FAIRFAX
Oh, gracious, no! Adele is French.
I have no family. No family at all.
This communicative deviation is caused by the creation of an unbalanced communicative act. There is a cognitive mistake made by an addressor concerning the addressee.
Communicative deviations caused by an addressee:
MR. BROCKLEHURST
Come here, little girl. What is
your name?
JANE
Jane Eyre, sir.
MR. BROCKLEHURST
Well, Jane Eyre, and are you a good
child?
Jane is silent.
MR. BROCKLEHURST
I asked you a question, Jane Eyre.
Are you a good child?
We can see from this example that Jane doesn’t want to answer the question. She feels that Mr. Brocklehurst is an evil man and that he has a biased opinion about her. The girl is frightened and disappointed, thus communication is not effective.
Communicative deviations caused by the process of communication:
MISS SCATCHERD
Mr. Brocklehurst, if I may venture
an opinion...
BROCKLEHURST
(glaring at her)
When I want your opinion, madam, I
shall call for it!
We can see from this example that Mr. Brocklehurst violates the principles of a co-operative communication and doesn’t adhere to etiquette norms and rules because he rudely interrupts Miss Scatcherd.
The tonality of communication:
ROCHESTER
What bride? I have no bride.
JANE
But you will have.
ROCHESTER
(passionately)
Yes, I will, I will!
JANE
Do you think I could stay here to
become nothing to you? Do you think
because I am poor, and obscure, and
plain that I am soulless, and
heartless? I have as much soul as
you and fully as much heart. And if
God had gifted me with beauty, and
wealth, I should have made it as
hard for you to leave me, as it is
now for me to leave you.
There is a pause, She looks at him with a kind of defiance.
We can observe here what is called an unequal tonality of communication. Jane is unable to express her pain. She understands that she can’t become Rochester’s lawful wife because of their different social status and background.
