Abstract:

In recent years the traditional approach to common ground as a body of
information shared between participants of a communicative process has been
challenged. Taking into account not only L1 but also intercultural
interactions and attempting to bring together the traditional view with the
egocentrism-based view of cognitive psychologists, it has been argued that
construction of common ground is a dynamic, emergent process. It is the
convergence of the mental representation of shared knowledge that we activate,
assumed mutual knowledge that we seek, and rapport as well as knowledge that
we co-construct in the communicative process. 

This dynamic understanding of common ground has been applied in many research
projects addressing both L1 and intercultural interactions in recent years. As
a result several new elements, aspects and interpretations of common ground
have been identified. Some researchers came to view common ground as one
component in a complex contextual information structure. Others, analyzing
intercultural interactions, pointed out the dynamism of the interplay of core
common ground and emergent common ground. 

The book brings together researchers from different angles of pragmatics and
communication to examine (i) what adjustments to the notion of common ground
based on L1 communication should be made in the light of research in
intercultural communication; (ii) what the relationship is between context,
situation and common ground, and (iii) how relevant knowledge and content get
selected for inclusion into core and emergent common ground
