About this title

Synopsis

This book argues that language use is more than the sum of a speaker speaking and a listener listening.

From the Back Cover

In this, his major work to date, Herbert Clark sets out the thesis that language use is really a form of joint action. A joint action is one thing that is carried out by an ensemble of people acting in coordination with each other.
