Abstract:

Linguistic interaction between two people is the fundamental form of
communication, yet almost all research in language use focuses on isolated
speakers and listeners. In this innovative work, Garrod and Pickering extend
the scope of psycholinguistics beyond individuals by introducing communication
as a social activity. Drawing on psychological, linguistic, philosophical and
sociological research, they expand their theory that alignment across
individuals is the basis of communication, through the model of a 'shared
workspace account'. In this workspace, interlocutors are actors who jointly
manipulate and control the interaction and develop similar representations of
both language and social context, in order to achieve communicative success.
The book also explores dialogue within groups, technologies, as well as the
role of culture more generally. Providing a new understanding of cognitive
representation, this trailblazing work will be highly influential in the
fields of linguistics, psychology and cognitive linguistics.
