2018 Dialogue: The key to pragmatics From Pragmatics to Dialogue, Weigand, Edda and István Kecskés (eds.), pp. 5–28 | Chapter
When trying to find out the ‘state of the art’ in pragmatics we risk getting lost in a mix of diverse approaches which seems to be accepted as the ‘plurality of models’ but in the end means nothing other than ‘anything goes’. The ‘pragmatic turn’, which introduced the new natural object ‘language… read more
2018 Ethics in dialogue: Ideals and reality Dialogic Ethics, Arnett, Ronald C. and François Cooren (eds.), pp. 1–23 | Chapter
Ethics is considered to be rooted in human nature. Human beings as dialogic individuals have to balance their self-interests and social concerns. In performance, there is no ethical codex that determines once for all what is ‘good’ and ‘right.’ We have, in any historical moment, to decide how we… read more

When I became aware of the fact that against their dogmatic position… read more

2016 How to verify a theory of dialogue Language and Dialogue 6:3, pp. 349–369 | Article
In recent decades the term ‘theory’ has pervasively been used in the literature without any reflection upon the conditions of its legitimate use. The paper focuses on the issue of what makes up a theory. Constitutive components are the object-of-study and the methodology. The object of a theory… read more

The term persuasion attracts the interest of both linguists and rhetoricians. Traditionally grammar and rhetoric have been conceived of as separate disciplines. The paper starts by clarifying the concept of persuasion and defines it as the attempt to exert influence on the interlocutor in a way… read more
2015 Identity as a dialogic concept Constructing and Negotiating Identity in Dialogue, Săftoiu, Răzvan (ed.), pp. 7–22 | Article
Identity has been investigated from different perspectives and there are therefore numerous ways of interpreting this concept. Basically it seems to be a method of categorizing people. We are however not only a slot in a bureaucratic system but social and dialogic human beings. As social… read more
2015 Dialogue in the stream of life Language and Dialogue 5:2, pp. 197–223 | Article
The paper considers dialogue from the point of view Wittgenstein has called ‘the stream of life’ and aims at describing analytically what happens in complex dialogues of performance. A short overview is given of approaches which use the term ‘communities’ to structure performance, e.g.… read more
2013 Words between reality and fiction Literary Linguistics, Müller-Wood, Anja (ed.), pp. 147–163 | Article
The transition from reality to fiction can be best illustrated by analysing autobiographies which claim to describe the life of the author. Essentially they are based on memories, which poses the question whether what is being remembered really happened in this way. In what respect do ‘real’… read more
2013 Preface Language and Dialogue 3:3, pp. 339–340 | Article
2012 The challenge of complexity: Body, mind and language in interaction Moving Ourselves, Moving Others: Motion and emotion in intersubjectivity, consciousness and language, Foolen, Ad, Ulrike M. Lüdtke, Timothy P. Racine and Jordan Zlatev (eds.), pp. 383–406 | Article
In our post-Cartesian times we can assume that human abilities are integrated abilities and that body, mind, language and emotion interact. We can finally open up the ‘black box’ and observe how the brain works, at least to some extent. ‘New Science’ has been developed on the basis of consilience… read more
2012 Dialogue: Object and representation (Re)presentations and Dialogue, Cooren, François and Alain Létourneau (eds.), pp. 1–16 | Article
Decades ago André Martinet pointed to the crucial issue of theorizing when he distinguished between object and methodology and told us not to distort our natural object by methodological exigencies. A theory that approaches dialogue as it occurs in the stream of life will inevitably be a holistic… read more

The paper starts from the assumption that rhetoric is inherent to dialogue.

Human beings… read more
