Abstract:
Inspired by early proposals in the philosophy of language, dominant accounts
of language use posit a central role for mutual knowledge or shared
information, either by directly positing a representation of common ground, or
alternatively by appealing to general cognitive mechanisms that give rise to
emergent coordinated representations. We challenge the widely-accepted focus
on mutual knowledge – or any coordinated or shared representations, arguing
that communication crucially depends on the asymmetries between conversational
partners. In a novel theoretical proposal, we present a cognitive architecture
where the representations of self and others are tracked and updated, and
compared regularly during conversation. This proposal accounts for existing
data, interfaces with findings from other cognitive domains, and makes novel,
yet-to-be-tested empirical predictions. We term this new account the Multiple
Perspectives Theory of the role of mental states in communication.
