What, exactly, is understanding ? And how do people create, maintain, and manipulate states of understanding via communication? This book addresses these questions, drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship in cognitive science, communication, psychology, and pragmatics.
Rejecting classic descriptions of communication as sending and receiving messages, this book proposes a novel perspective that depicts communication as a process in which interactants construct, test, and refine mental.
