phatic phatic (FAT-ik) adjectiveRelating to a communication meant to generate an atmosphere of social relationship rather than to convey some information. When you bump into your neighbor on your way out and say, "How are ya?" you're engaging in phatic communion. The idea is not to inquire your neighbor's state of affairs but simply to create a feeling of shared goodwill. Later, at work, when you discuss weather with someone at the water cooler, it's the same idea.
