Language plays a fundamental role in the construction of social reality. Theories and research on speech acts and social interaction have made great contributions to the analysis of how we do things with words and the impact thus generated in the construction of relationships. Nevertheless, new social conquers such as the necessary improvements in the analysis of consent set out by movements such as “me too” demand research that approaches the combination of elements present in the communicative acts, not only in spoken language. Gestures, tone or social contexts might contribute to making the same words or the same silences be part of harassment or of relationships free from it. In this article we present a recent contribution in research on consent: the difference between communicative acts of power, which favor sexual harassment and gender violence, and dialogic communicative acts, which promote relationships free of violence.
