This volume presents important results of the Collaborative Research Center (Sonderforschungsbereich) "Situated Artificial Communicators," which was funded by grants from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) for more than twelve years. The contributions focus on different aspects of human-human and human-machine interaction in situations which closely model everyday workplace demands. The authors are linguists, psycho- und neurolinguists, psychologists and computer scientists at Bielefeld University. They jointly tackle questions of information processing in task-oriented communication. The role of key notions such as context, integration (of multimodal information), reference, coherence, and robustness is explored in great depth. Some remarkable findings and recurrent phenomena reveal that communication is, to a large extent, a matter of joint activity. The interdisciplinary approach integrates theory, description and experimentation with simulation and evaluation.

Understanding Everyday Communicative Interactions is a unique text that uses a situated discourse analysis (SDA) framework to examine basic human communication and the interactions of those with communicative disorders in everyday and clinical settings. The book introduces SDA as a theoretical and empirical approach for examining the complexities of communicative interaction. It explores how people collaborate in everyday contexts to communicate successfully and how they learn to do so. From close analysis of a pretend game played by two children and their father to an observation of a man with aphasia and his family at a football match, the present volume offers rich portraits of communicative lives and illustrates the applications of SDA. The final part of the book uses SDA methods to demonstrate how clinicians can function as communication partners even during assessments and can design rich communicative environments for therapeutic interventions. In explaining the SDA framework and equipping readers with the tools to understand the nature of human communication, this sophisticated and engaging book will be an essential reference for students, researchers, and clinicians in communication sciences and disorders.

Regular, everyday conversations do not occur in a vacuum. The physical and social context in which a conversation takes place is utilized through the course of that conversation-it is situated. The ways in which a context can be used vary. Sometimes we implicitly and unconsciously utilize context in interpreting others. While at a restaurant, you would effortlessly interpret "What are you going to have?" not as a general question disconnected from the current situation, but as a question about that particular restaurant's menu. Other times we overtly utilize context to aid in communication. While out on a walk in the city, I might point to an ice cream cone that has fallen onto the street and say "Somebody's having a bad day", and it would be clear what I am talking about. I argue in this dissertation that the psychological category of attention is key for understanding how situated conversations operate. In contrast to viewing communication as a process of pure information exchange, I argue that communication is helpfully analyzed as a process of attention management. Our utterances, gestures, and facial expressions do not serve to merely convey information, but serve to coordinate our attentional states. I begin by focusing on a particular communicative phenomenon that I call rich demonstration. It is, roughly, a deictic (pointing) gesture that functions to communicate an entire thought, in contrast to fixing the reference of a demonstrative expression such as 'that'. Just by making something salient, one can seemingly say something. I argue that rich demonstration is a speech act in its own right, and provide a formal semantic framework for modeling its communicative effect in discourse. I then proceed to analyze salience itself. The notion has proven useful for understanding a number of communicative phenomena, including reference resolution, certain kinds of pragmatic inference, quantifier domain restriction, and more. Focusing on cases of reference, I argue that the linguistic notion of salience is best understood in terms of the psychological notion of mutual attention. I discuss competing options, including mutual knowledge and varieties of joint attention that are weaker than mutual attention, and argue that only mutual attention suffices for establishing conversational salience. The picture that emerges is one on which conversational moves function in part to coordinate the attentional states of interlocutors.I take advantage of these considerations to argue that discourse information states are genuinely structured-they represent different types of information that can be updated independently. I argue that such structural models of conversation cannot be reasonably reduced to unstructured models, such as the Common Ground model, which flatten discourse information into one kind. This dissertation therefore develops a view of conversation as attention management. This is a perspective on situated conversation on which communicative acts are both restricted by facts about attention and function to coordinate the attentional states of interlocutors.

The Situated Organization explores recent research in organizational communication, emphasizing the organization as constructed in and emerging out of communication practices. Working from the tradition of the Montreal School in its approach, it focuses not only on how an organization’s members understand the purposes of the organization through communication, but also on how they realize and recognize the organization itself as they work within it. The text breaks through with an alternative viewpoint to the currently popular idea of 'organization-as-network,' viewing organization instead as a configuration of agencies, and their fields of practice. It serves as an original, comprehensive, and well-written text, elaborated by case studies that make the theory come to life. The substantial ideas and insights are presented in a deep and meaningful way while remaining comprehensible for student readers. This text has been developed for students at all levels of study in organizational communication, who need a systematic introduction to conducting empirical field research. It will serve as an invaluable sourcebook in planning and conducting research.

This monograph develops a new socio-cognitive theory of sense-making for analyzing the creative management of situated social meaning. Drawing on cognitive-linguistic and social-interactional heuristics in an innovative way, the book both theorizes and demonstrates how embodied cognizers create complex situated conceptualizations of self and other, which guide and support their interactions. It shows how these sense-making processes are managed through the coordinated social interaction of two (or more) communicative partners. To illustrate the theory, the book draws on two distinct data sets: front-desk tourist-information transactions and online-workgroup discussions. It scrutinizes how the communicative partners use verbal humour as a powerful strategy to creatively establish a situated social image for themselves. This book addresses specialists and advanced students in the areas of cognitive linguistics as well as interactional approaches to language. Moreover, it will be of great value to readers interested in verbal humour, business communication, and computer-mediated communication.

Situated Meaning adds a new dimension, both literal and metaphoric, to our understanding of Japan. The essays in this volume leave the vertical axis of hierarchy and subordination—an organizing trope in much of the literature on Japan—and focus instead on the horizontal, interpreting a wide range of cultural practices and orientations in terms of such relational concepts as uchi ("inside") and soto ("outside"). Evolving from a shared theoretical focus, the essays show that in Japan the directional orientations inside and outside are specifically linked to another set of meanings, denoting "self" and "society." After Donald L. Brenneis's foreward, Jane M. Bachnick, Charles J. Quinn, Jr., Patricia J. Wetzel, Nancy R. Rosenberger, and Robert J. Sukle discuss "Indexing Self and Social Context." "Failure to Index: Boundary Disintegration and Social Breakdown" is the topic of Dorinne K. Kondo, Matthews M. Hamabata, Michael S. Molasky, and Jane Bachnik. Finally, Charles Quinn explores "Language as a Form of Life." Jane M. Bachnik is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is presently pursuing research in Japan under a Senior Fellowship Grant from the Japan Foundation. Charles J. Quinn, Jr., is Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the Ohio State University. Originally published in 1994.
