Utterance:
consider that much of talk takes place in the visual and aural range of persons who are not ratified participants and whose access to the encounter, however minimal, is itself perceivable by the official participants. These adventitious participants are "bystanders." Their presence should be considered the rule, not the exception. In some circumstances they can temporarily follow the talk, or catch bits and pieces of it, all without much effort or intent, becoming, thus, overhearers. In other circumstances they may surreptitious exploit the accessibility they find they have, thus qualified as eavesdroppers, here not dissimilar to those who secretly listen in on conversations electronically. Ordinarily, however, we bystanders politely disavail ourselves of these latter opportunities, practicing the situational ethic which obliges us to warn those who are, that they are, unknowingly accessible, obliging us also to enact a show of disinterest, and by disattending and withdrawing ecologically to minimise our actual access to the talk. (Much of the etiquette of bystanders can be generated from the basic understanding that they should act as to maximally encourage the fiction that they aren’t present; in brief, that the assumptions of the conversational paradigm are being realised.) But polite, bystanders will still be able to glean some information; from example, the language spoken, "who" (whether in categorical or biographical terms) is in an encounter with whom, which of the participants is speaker and which are listeners, what the general mood of the conversational circle is, and so forth.
