Description

Language use is more than the sum of individual actions. It's the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners coordinate their efforts as ensembles. In this work, Herbert Clark challenges traditional views of language use, arguing that it embodies both individual and social processes. The author draws on insights from cognitive sciences and social sciences to make a strong case for the interplay between these perspectives. By exploring the complexities of language use, Clark sheds new light on how meaning is created and communicated. This book offers a nuanced understanding of language as a dynamic, interactive process that cannot be reduced to individual or social explanations alone.
