In the analysis of interpersonal meaning, two basic types of relationship may be distinguished: power and solidarity. Power emanates from the text producer's ability to impose his or her plans at the expense of the text receiver's plans. Solidarity, on the other hand, is the willingness of the text producer genuinely to relinquish power and work with his or her interlocutors as members of a team. The domain of intentionality or the purposes for which utterances are used in real contexts.
