1. FUNCTIONS OF TREATMENT The essence of treatment is based on the fact that we address the interlocutor with designation, and with intonation we appeal to attract his attention. The discussion is above all the designation of the speech, its introduction. It is a gesture that signals the beginning of the speech or speech. Or it could be a signal by which the interlocutor must prepare to receive the information. Not all treatments must be carried out under the interlocutor's first name. There are many others, both verbal and non-verbal, with which you can direct and attract a person's attention.
