Inasmuch as it is impossible to analyze the contents of an entire interpersonal relationship, it is helpful to conceptualize a given communication event as consisting of a series of subevents.

[…] each interact is a distinctive attempt to conceal, repeat, or disclose information and/or to influence the relationship.
