Jakobson links the phatic function to which factor?

1. Each of Jakobson's functions has an associated factor of communication. 2. The emotive function goes with the addresser or sender. 3. The conative function goes with the addressee or receiver. 4. The referential function goes with the context. 5. The phatic function is language for interaction, so it goes with contact or channel. 6. So the factor is contact or channel. **Why the other options fail:** - The addresser or sender goes with the emotive function. - The addressee or receiver goes with the conative function. - Context or setting goes with the referential function. _Source: Wikipedia, "Jakobson's functions of language", section "The six functions of language" (revision 1326316540)_
