Talking our way into community

Richard Ogden

Language and Linguistic Science

Most our our social life and our relationships depend on conversation. In this short presentation I show how moments in conversation can be used to display our understanding of each other, even in places where words fail. How are our conversations changing in our current circumstances? What kinds of interactions do we need to encourage?
