Clark, Herbert H., and Susan E. Brennan. “Grounding in communication.” Perspectives on socially shared cognition 13.1991 (1991): 127-149. This is a very groundbreaking paper where Clark and Brennan establish Grounding as a mandatory requirement for any kind of collaborative activity to happen (eg: pair programming or playing the piano) However, jokes apart, it is an old paper,…
Reading Reflection on Grounding in Communication
Clark, Herbert H., and Susan E. Brennan. “Grounding in communication.” Perspectives on socially shared cognition 13.1991 (1991): 127-149. Summary: In order for two people to be in the same common ground in communication, they need to go through a process, which this paper dubs as “Grounding”. Grounding can be defined by two main factors. One of them…
Shuyi Sun- Reflecting on “Grounding in Communication”
In brief, this paper examines grounding, which is constructing a mutual understanding, in communication. Establishing, updating, and engaging in a common contextual ground in communication has many steps and nuances. In this paper, Clark analyzed in extreme details the properties of a conversation. Furthermore, techniques are introduced for more effective communication. To converse, one must…
