Opinion | It’s not just Trump’s message that matters. There’s also his metamessage.

A linguistics professor examines James Comey’s testimony about his conversations with the president.

When people talk to each other, they glean meaning from metamessages. But messages come in handy when someone wants to deny a meaning that was obvious when the words were spoken.

The president’s “exact words,” according to Comey’s notes, were: “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” Risch cried literal meaning. Zeroing in on the word “hope,” he asked Comey if he knew of anyone being charged with a criminal offense because “they hoped for an outcome.” Though he confessed that he didn’t, Comey said, “I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.” Risch rested his case: “You may have taken it as a direction but that’s not what he said.” Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, later made the same point in a tweet: “Hoping and telling are two very different things.”

Actually, they aren’t, when the speaker is in a position of power, as Harris noted. Referring to her experience as a prosecutor, she said, “When a robber held a gun to somebody’s head and said, ‘I hope you will give me your wallet,’ the word ‘hope’ was not the most operative word at that moment.” The gun gives the robber power to encourage another to make his hope a reality.

In our social existence today…we’re only allowed to express our feelings, ….weirdly and indirectly. If you express them directly, everybody goes crazy…..People are talking in symbols. Everyone is sort of floating through this fog of symbols and unconscious feelings. No one says what they’re really thinking about.

Writing Tip #149

Play around with direct speech and indirect speech. Direct speech is “he said” “she said”. Indirect speech is “she wondered what to say”. Free indirect style is freed from authorial flagging (said, sighed, yelled, etc.) and you gain flexibility. It is not always the best course of action, but it’s a good thing to experiment with and see where it fits.
