Abstract:

Getting others to do things is a central part of social interaction in any
human society. Language is our main tool for this purpose. In this book, we
show that sequences of interaction in which one person’s behaviour solicits or
occasions another’s assistance or collaboration share common structural
properties that provide a basis for the systematic comparison of this domain
across languages. The goal of this comparison is to uncover similarities and
differences in how language and other conduct are used in carrying out social
action around the world, including different kinds of requests, orders,
suggestions, and other actions brought together under the rubric of
recruitment.
