2: How does language shape dialogue?

from The Science of Dialogue · host Rod J. Naquin

In this episode of The Science of Dialogue podcast, host Rod J. Naquin explores Ludwig Wittgenstein's theory of language as a set of rule-governed "language games" and J.L. Austin's concepts of speech acts and performativity. Together, they provide influential perspectives on how language obtains meaning through shared contextual use rather than fixed definitions. We examine how their insights reveal the cooperative, goal-driven nature of dialogue and the importance of pragmatic factors in communication.
