Historically, the social aspects of language use have been
considered the domain of social psychology, while the underlying
psycholinguistic mechanisms have been the purview of cognitive
psychology. Recently, it has become increasingly clear that these
two dimensions are highly interrelated: cognitive mechanisms
underlying speech production and comprehension interact with social
psychological factors, such as beliefs about one's interlocutors
and politeness norms, and with the dynamics of the conversation
itself, to produce shared meaning. This realization has led to an
exciting body of research integrating the social and cognitive
dimensions which has greatly increased our understanding of human
language use.
Each chapter in this volume demonstrates how the theoretical
approaches and research methods of social and cognitive psychology
can be successfully interwoven to provide insight into one or more
fundamental questions about the process of interpersonal
communication. The topics under investigation include the nature
and role of speaker intentions in the communicative process, the
production and comprehension of indirect speech and figurative
language, perspective-taking and conversational collaboration, and
the relationships between language, cognition, culture, and social
interaction. The book will be of interest to all those who study
interpersonal language use: social and cognitive psychologists,
theoretical and applied linguists, and communication
researchers.
