Dialogue has developed from more primitive forms of social
communication in the course of evolution. In Mutualities in
dialogue, 'dialogue' refers to face-to-face interaction between two
or more individuals using a system of signs (both verbal and
nonverbal). The contributors, distinguished scholars in disciplines
from primatology to social psychology to linguistics and
communication studies, all address the question: what is it that we
share in the course of a dialogue? They argue that culture,
mutualities of language and some interpersonal knowledge are
prerequisites for effective communication. Even in instances of
noncooperation or of asymmetrical dialogue - such as attempts to
persuade, manipulate or blame - some forms of elementary
commonalities must be present. Mutualities in dialogue focuses on
the interacting dialogical participants as a dyad rather than as
two individuals, and is influenced by approaches such as dialogism,
phenomenological perspective-setting and perspective-taking,
interactionism and exchange theory. An introduction outlines the
theoretical underpinnings of the volume and is followed by chapters
on mutualities in preverbal and nonverbal communication,
establishing and maintaining mutuality, problems of mutuality and
understanding, and dialogues with speech-impaired partners.
