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.
