Linguistic interaction between two people is the fundamental form
of communication, yet almost all research in language use focuses
on isolated speakers and listeners. In this innovative work, Garrod
and Pickering extend the scope of psycholinguistics beyond
individuals by introducing communication as a social activity.
Drawing on psychological, linguistic, philosophical and
sociological research, they expand their theory that alignment
across individuals is the basis of communication, through the model
of a 'shared workspace account'. In this workspace, interlocutors
are actors who jointly manipulate and control the interaction and
develop similar representations of both language and social
context, in order to achieve communicative success. The book also
explores dialogue within groups, technologies, as well as the role
of culture more generally. Providing a new understanding of
cognitive representation, this trailblazing work will be highly
influential in the fields of linguistics, psychology and cognitive
linguistics.
