Great! Dig out the swords. What a wonderful exchange of words and how
revealing. You know you've hit on a good topic when you get this sort of
reaction. To me, this is healthy. I hope that it sparks a few interests in
getting more of this critical engagement - all in the interests of learning
about the boundaries of language. At best we know it doesn't happen in
isolation - your words, my meaning - we do it everyday!
Practitioners and theorists - is this a call to arms - something to the
tune of "my understanding is better than yours"?
Why exactly do we try to make the science of communication, sorry science
communication, simplistic? Perhaps we should be spending more time
challenging - "but what do you mean?"
Happy days,
Andrea
