C ONVENTIONS refer to shared practices. I will use this simple claim as a starting point for examining how the concept of convention has been applied in recent accounts of action in general and interpretation in particular.1 Three kinds of shared practices are relevant to these accounts: those covered by traditional conventions recognizing past regularities in action; prescriptive conventions regulating future action; and (combining special forms of the first two) constitutive conventions determining present meaning. My commentary will explore the nature of these conventions and their use as explanatory concepts.2
