Abstract
This research investigates teasing in films to see whether and to what extent the teases in movies imitate teases in real life. Teasing is a non-serious speech interaction for which the person being teased is present, and the content of the tease could be interpreted as aggressive but due to playful framing is not. It has been shown that the use of teasing can build rapport between participants in the interaction, and teases are often used as a form of social or conversational control. Teases convey potentially aggressive messages in a playful and even humorous manner through the use of laughter, tone or emphasis.
