Gerry Philipsen breaks the speech code into six different Propositions. One is “wherever there is a distinctive culture, there is to be found a distinctive speech code” Two, “in any given speech community, multiple speech codes are deployed”. Three,”A speech code involves a culturally distinctive psychology, sociology, and rhetoric’. Four, “The significance of speaking, depends on the speech codes used by speakers and listeners to create and interpret their communication”. Five, “The terms, rules, and premises of a speech code are inextricably woven into speaking itself”. Finally six, “the artful use of a shared speech code is a sufficient condition for predicting, explaining, and controlling”.

Part five has four parts that include Initiation, Acknowledgement, Negotiation, and Reaffirmation.

An example of Reaffirmation could be seen in a clip from friday Night lights. The coach jumps to a wrong concusion about one of his players and disrespects him. However, he goes to his house later to talk to him about it and set their differences apart.
