Get the Microwaving mug.The use of musical pitches outside of 12 tone equal temperament (these are called microtones).
While microtones technically refer to intervals smaller than a half step (a standard note in 12TET), they can also commonly refer to intervals greater than 100 cents, such as 150.
A better word for microtonality is xenharmony (microtonal -> xenharmonic).
When talking about microtonality, changing the base tuning (A = 440hz) is not commonly considered microtonal, as the intervals between all of the notes remains the same.
Also, the use of just intonation is not always considered microtonal either.
Microtonality is most commonly utilized by changing the amount of notes per octave to be greater or less than 12.
It is also common to use a "subset" of a tuning with many notes, like 53TET, because it is hard for humans to hear small differences in pitch.
12TET = The most common musical tuning on the planet. Commonly called "western" tuning. It utilizes only 12 notes per octave. (that's all the notes on a piano.)
TET = Tone equal temperament. It refers to how many equal notes are per octave of a tuning.
EDO = Equal divisions of the octave. The exact same thing as TET.
Octave = The same musical pitch, but doubled in frequency. We perceive this as the same note, just "higher" or "lower."

1: Did you see Sevish's new album yesterday? (it uses a lot of microtonality)
2: Who is Sevish?
1: Only one of the best microtonal musicians of all time! He's up their with Xotla and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
2: Wow! I should go listen to some of their music!

Get the microgoon mug.The study of meaning-in-action within specific, localized, and immediate contexts. It zooms in on the particular: a single conversation, a specific ritual, a unique case study, or the dynamics of a small group. It asks: How do the individuals right here, right now use language, gesture, and shared assumptions to co-create meaning, achieve goals, or navigate their immediate social reality? It's the fine-grained analysis of the unspoken rules, power plays, and contextual cues that govern a singular interaction.
Example: Analyzing a family dinner argument. Micropragmatics focuses on the specific sarcastic tone the teenager used, the meaningful silence from the father after a particular comment, the shared family history that makes an inside joke land, and how the physical setting (the dinner table) dictates turn-taking. It explains why "Fine, whatever" said with a sigh means defeated acceptance in this moment, even though the dictionary definition is neutral. It's the rulebook for a single, happening game.
