Abstract:

This volume breaks open traditional disciplinary confines and
approaches the full complexity of communicative interaction from an
impressive range of exciting state-of-the-art perspectives in social
psychology, conversation analysis, hermeneutics, constructivist
psychology, communication theory, computational neuroscience,
sociology of communication, second language pragmatics, ergonomic
interaction theory and computer-mediated interaction studies. In so
doing, it sets out to establish a new research agenda in which
communication science is understood as a human-social science par
excellence. This collection of fifteen essays by seventeen scholars
from Canada, the United States, Brazil, Ireland, the Netherlands,
Germany and the UK will be of interest to scholars and students in all
of the above fields.

The editor, Colin B. Grant, is Reader in Modern Languages in the
School of Management and Languages, Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh,
where he runs the interdisciplinary social communication science
research group. He is author of Literary Communication from Consensus
to Rupture (1995), Functions and Fictions of Communication (2000) and
chief editor of Language-Meaning-Social Construction (2001).
