Document Summary
Some cases of crying are communicative but not intentional. We are talking about signs that are not intentionally communicative. That includes things like blinking/twitching, sweating and perhaps crying. It also includes things like walking or looking in a certain direction or drying one"s face with a cloth. These are actions performed under voluntary control but without communicative intent. One human can manipulate another"s capacity to read intention. Player a reads the other in order to figure out where the other is going to move or hit the ball etc. Player b can manipulate this by feinting etc. Player a must distinguish the true intention movement from the untrue intentionally communicative feint etc. A reference is picking something often in the world for instance if i point at something i am referring to it or you can refer it verbally in many ways as well. Specific formulation is picking something out in the world.
