Give-and-take

There must be some sort of give-and-take.

You need to have give-and-take in your relationship.

We believe that it is in this spoken world, where people engage in phatic communion and indulge in the give-and-take of interpersonal socialising and the negotiation of personality, identity, friendship and connection, largely unmindful of institutional goals or language policies and politics, that one can best get a view of language vitality.
