After finishing the core of business, Kerry wants to end the negotiation in example 19, as it is always face-threatening to initiate closure directly, S shifts her topic that it is time for dinner and invites H to have local dishes by giving hints that they should end the negotiation. Sigmund in example 20 gives hint to end up the negotiation by showing the time and his schedule. He gives little information of closing the negotiation, but he conveys the meaning that he should go and end the conversation. Thus, the Maxim of Relevance is maintained and face-threatening is minimized.
