Knowing how best to assess and evaluate the communication that takes place in online educational settings can be a challenge, especially when the features of educational platforms continue to develop in their complexity. This chapter will discuss Speech Codes Theory, which is grounded in the Ethnography of Communication, as a theoretical and methodological framework for conducting qualitative, interpretive research. It will show how Speech Codes Theory can potentially be used to analyze and understand communication in a range of online educational settings.

Little is known about what kind of salesperson-consumer interaction is valued in different cultures. We explore the influence of national speech culture in sales-related communication in business-to-consumer (B2C) environments. We apply speech codes theory to identify the B2C context-specific speech codes attached to the sales-related communication described in consumers’ narratives. The results inform three discourses among sales-related communication: consumer orientation, professionalism and independency. The results suggest that independency, fact-oriented talk, and consumer-oriented communication are central speech codes related to the B2C sales context in Finland. Furthermore, the results describe a cultural norm for appropriate sales-related communication.

This research is motivated by someone's unpleasant experience when asking directions in Javanese (BJ). Because it is considered impolite, the answer that person gets is wrong and unpleasant. Therefore, this study seeks to formulate BJ's verbal and nonverbal interrogative politeness in asking directions. The data of this research are in the form of BJ conversations in asking directions. The data were obtained through FGD, interview and experimental. The conversation data is then analyzed deconstructively to find markers of politeness. The conclusion from this research is that the formulation of politeness to ask directions verbally is influenced by a) components, functions, and speech codes, b) short length of speech, c) speech sequence, d) intonation, and e) use of expressions marking politeness. This verbal politeness needs to be supported by nonverbal politeness, namely not driving a vehicle, removing all the attributes that cover the face, and not puffing out the body. Keywords: Javanese language, politeness, interrogative, asking directions
