The evening conversations of the Efc Pygmy arc described and analysed. The conversation process is divided into calm phases (c-phases) and excited phases (ephases). While in c-phasc, calm and ordinary speech is heard, in e-phase. loud and rapid speech is heard. In c-phase, adult women sometimes participate in the conversation. However, in e-phase, they do not and only adult men speak. In e-phase, adult men mutually support one another's assertions. and rarely contradict each other. It is shown that in ephase, the pragmatic variables e.g., loudness. rapidity of speech, function to make women remain silent and to draw the attention of women to the men's conversation. It is suggested that the c-phase is a collective display towards women by the men in which they demonstrate their mutual supporting relationship.
