Speech Codes Theory was introduced by Gerry Philipsen and is defined as “a historically enacted, socially constructed system of terms, meanings, premises, and rules pertaining to communicative conduct.” There are six propositions set forth by Gerry Philipsen: 1. Wherever there is a distinctive culture, there is to be found a distinctive speech code. 2. In any given speech community, multiple speech codes are deployed. 3. A speech code involves a culturally distinctive psychology, sociology, and rhetoric. 4. The significance of speaking, depends on the speech codes used by speakers and listeners to create and interpret their communication. 5. The terms, rules, and premises of a speech code are inextricably woven into speaking itself. 6. The artful use of a shared speech code is a sufficient condition for predicting, explaining, and controlling the form of discourse about the intelligibility, prudence, and morality of communication conduct. Also, there is performative ethnography that is used by many researchers. Proposition Five and the steps of it are portrayed in almost any conversation between two people.
