Multimodality Of Japanese Backchannel In Beauty Vlog, Filia Filia Dr., Nilam Husna Muthia
International Review of Humanities Studies
A backchannel is generally known as a response in a conversation that serves as a sign that the interlocutor is paying attention.

While there is little previous research concerning the use of a non-recognitional to complete particular social actions, in this study, I show how “someone” can be employed to accomplish disaffiliative actions such as complaints, accusations and …
