Abstract:
Communication is achieved by encoding and decoding messages and this makes
communication possible and effective. The speaker encodes a message, which is
transmitted through a channel and the interlocutor decodes it at his end. An
effective communication is one that seeks to ensure that there is mutual
understanding between the people involved in that communicative act. If for
some reasons, one party fails to understand the intended interpretation of an
utterance, then that results in a miscommunication, and as a result the
intended meaning of such an utterance will not be achieved. This really
influenced my desire to carry out research into the communicative behaviours
of interactants at the Akan informal market setting, observing whether their
intentions are conveyed explicitly (by means of encoded logical forms to be
enriched appropriately by the addressee in a mutually accessible context and
the extent to which the interactants rely on implicitness (implicature) in
their communication. Any other communication that goes on in the Akan informal
market is analysed in this study, in order to present an objective picture of
what pertains in the Akan informal market setting.
