Introduction One of the salient features of the film, The Avengers, is the clever dialogue exchanges between the characters. As far as movie scripts are concerned, The Avengers is, perhaps, one of those that have the wittiest lines. Despite the fact that the plots are quite predictable, the movie with its clean graphics and witty dialogue exchanges is purely entertaining. Created by Marvel Studios in 2012, The Avengers materialized Marvel’s plan to join some of their marketable comic book heroes in a special team (Tucker, 2012). The team was composed of franchised heroes such as Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr.; Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk; Chris Evans as Captain America; Chris Hemsworth as Thor; Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye; Scarlett Johanson

In general, interpersonal communication is defined as a type of interaction between people (Wood, 2010). Most people confuse interpersonal communication with the number of people that are engaged in a conversation. Although it is quite clear that two people talking with each other are engaged in interpersonal communication, this simple definition can be misleading. Scholars emphasize that the true meaning of interpersonal communication is not based on the number of people doing the exchanges but rather on the nature of exchange between people (Wood, 2010). The clue in understanding interpersonal communication is on the root words that compose the term ‘interpersonal,’ itself. The term ‘interpersonal,’ for instance, came from two root word ‘inter’ and ‘person’ which means ‘between’ and ‘individual’ respectively. While exchanges are shared between people, it does not necessarily mean that the exchanges are personal.

People may not talk out loud but in their minds, they are already conversing with their selves. As observed by scholars, “inner speech usually signifies soundless, mental speech, arising at the instant we think about something, plan or solve problems in our mind, recall books read or conversations heard, read and write silently” (Jemmer, 2009). Although intrapersonal communication is concealed within the confines of the individual’s mind, still, the importance of intrapersonal communication could not be undermined. Most often, the individual finds it necessary to organize his or her plans and so conducts a self-assessment of the things he needs to prioritize. At times, he may evaluate his previous actions to see if what he did conforms to his moral standards and values. Furthermore, there are many occasions wherein an individual is in argument with his own self. In doing so, he experiences intrapersonal communication. As observed, inner speech is a “rather important and universal mechanism in human consciousness and psychic activity,” which also determines how an individual communicate with others (Brewster, 2010; Jemmer,
