Annotation

This essay deals with communication. From a broad perspective, understanding communication always involves understanding what the other person is doing and saying, and there are serious obstacles to integrating these two aspects into one whole picture. It is illustrated how the whole discipline of pragmatics is in a sense constructed on the basis of this geological faultline.
