Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An irrelevant response is a disconfirming response that has nothing to do with what the speaker said in the first place. A tangential response may be related to the topic at hand, but is not a direct response to what was said. Incongruous and incoherent responses are also disconfirming, but for different reasons - incongruous responses have a tone or attitude that does not match the situation, while incoherent responses are difficult to understand or follow.
