Ten-Year Look Back: Participatory Obeservation on the "Coming-out Episode" from the "Let's Talk" Show

Abstract

The research highlights the importance of representation using language, which operates as a representational system. People communicate their feelings, opinions, and thoughts by using language, and based on shared knowledge, mutual understanding can be achieved. With language, we not only represent ourselves or others but also create meanings, which are produced and circulated within the culture.
