Integrating shared and individual realities in communication
It is widely assumed that in communicative interactions, participants formulate utterances based on a backdrop of shared knowledge, including information provided by the situation of interaction. This view clashes with the reality of the individual mindsets, and the notion of egocentrism that has been found to be a significant factor in everyday interaction. Taking into account that approaches to a shared situation may differ and need to be conve…
Patterns of Context
Human language in its performances is not to be considered without taking into account the environment in which it takes place, i.e. its physical, social, or cultural setting. A description of the regularity or pattern driven character of this relationship is, however, still a desideratum for modern pragmatics. The contributions of the book in hand set out to show how such a conception may be achieved. In so doing they enhance the pragmatic agend…
Common ground in artificial intelligence applications
With the advance of contemporary internet based artificial intelligence (AI), many interactive scenarios emerge. The interaction between a user and their device centers around the provision and build-up of information that is recorded for further individual or communicative usage. Further to that, virtual assistant technologies have become popular and widespread. Through AI, the mobile and home-based assistants are built to directly employ and fa…
Linguistic expressions as cultural units
The paper argues in favor of including cultural aspects in the description of communicative interaction. According to Eco (1976) , a linguistic sign is a cultural unit. In order to use it properly, a speaker relies on communicative experience with this unit within a culture ( Wittgenstein 1960 ; Feilke 1996 , 1998 ; Everett 2012 ). We expand the notion of ‘cultural unit’ by including internet memes found in social media ( Shifman 2013 , 2014 ; Di…

What you give is what you GET? On reanalysis, semantic extension and functional motivation with the German bekommen-passive construction
The German “bekommen-passive” is a recipient passive construction that is generally considered to be a case of “grammaticalization-in-progress”. It emerges on the basis of constructional ambiguity: In a bracket structure with a finite form of the verbs bekommen or kriegen (‘to get’, ‘to receive’) and a past participle in sentence-final position, the get-verb can be reanalyzed as a passive auxiliary, when certain structural and semantic conditions…
Where is the precore slot? Mapping the layered structure of the clause and German sentence topology
The paper will account for the regularities of word order with German main declarative clauses by using the RRG framework. The question whether the so-called “Vorfeld” (“prefield”)-position can be equated with the RRG-notion of precore slot (PrCS) will be explored. It will be shown that operator scope with the different readings of modal verbs indicates that the position before the finite verb should be regarded as core-external position. Further…
