Abstract:

Combining theory from cognitive semantics and pragmatics, this book offers
both a new model and a new usage-based method for the understanding of
intersubjectivity, and how social cognition is expressed linguistically at
different levels of complexity. Bringing together ideas from linguistics and
theory of mind, Tantucci demonstrates the way in which speakers constantly
monitor and project their interlocutor's reactions to what is being said, and
sets out three distinct categories of social cognition in first language
acquisition and language change. He also shows how this model can be applied
in different settings and includes a range of examples from languages across
the globe, to demonstrate the cross-linguistic universality of the model.
Additionally the book offers insights into the gradient dimension of
intersubjectivity in language evolution and across the autistic spectrum.
Original and innovative, it will be invaluable for researchers in cognitive
linguistics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, applied linguistics and
cognitive psychology.
