About this product
This book, first published in 1996, argues that language use is more than the sum of a speaker speaking and a listener listening. It is the joint action that emerges when speakers and listeners – writers and readers – perform their individual actions in coordination, as ensembles. The author argues strongly that language use embodies both individual and social processes.
