Communicative dynamics refers to the changing, interactional organization of communication as participants produce, interpret, and respond to one another’s verbal, nonverbal, and contextual cues during an exchange. The term encompasses the sequential relations among communicative actions—such as initiating, responding, clarifying, repairing, affiliating, or closing—and the ways these actions shape the development of discourse ^[1]. It also includes the influence of participants’ roles, relationships, communicative purposes, shared knowledge, and situational setting on the selection and interpretation of linguistic and other semiotic resources ^[2]. Communicative dynamics concerns communication as an evolving process rather than as isolated messages or stable individual language abilities. It is distinct from grammatical description, which addresses formal properties of language, and from communication channels alone, which refer to the media through which interaction occurs ^[1][2].
