    Audience design → Common ground

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Audience design takes account of what speakers expect their listeners to know. Common ground consists of assumptions participants treat as shared. Speakers can draw on those assumptions or use an utterance to establish them.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Accommodation can change what participants treat as common ground. The common ground is the set of assumptions treated as shared, and participants can challenge a proposed addition to it.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Shared knowledge of the situation can help participants resolve a deictic reference. Common ground helps explain how they can tell which object someone means by “that over there”.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A presupposition presents information as already given. Common ground is the background that participants take to be shared. An assumption can already belong to it, be accepted during the exchange, or be challenged.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Hearers draw on assumptions about shared knowledge when they infer an implicature. Common ground is one resource for that inference. Each hearer may also draw conclusions of their own.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Through accommodation, participants can provisionally treat a new assumption as part of their common ground. This leaves open whether they actually agree with it or whether it is true.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Information structure distinguishes material presented as given from material presented as new. Common ground helps explain why that distinction works for particular participants or breaks down.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Expressions such as ‘here’ and ‘that’ often rely on a shared point of reference and can help establish one. Common ground explains how that shared orientation is possible. Identifying the referent still requires attention to the situation.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An enthymeme leaves part of an argument unstated because the audience is expected to supply it. Common ground helps explain which assumptions participants may treat as shared for this purpose.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Focus often depends on which alternatives or questions are relevant to the participants. Common ground helps explain that background. Focus can also pick out information already mentioned.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    An expression can evoke a frame that speakers expect their listeners to recognise. Common ground concerns what they take to be shared in this exchange. Evoking the same frame still leaves room for different assumptions about it.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    What counts as informative enough or relevant in a conversation depends in part on what participants assume they already share. Common ground helps explain how conversational maxims apply in a particular exchange.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    People can draw on knowledge and skills they have never put into words. Common ground concerns what participants take to be shared. One person’s unspoken know-how becomes relevant to common ground when the participants can reasonably treat it as shared.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Speakers decide how to present information as given or new partly by anticipating what listeners already take for granted. The presentation reflects that assumption. Listeners may still have to infer or query what the speaker treats as familiar.

    Speech acts draw on and can change common ground. Asserting and asking, for example, can alter the assumptions participants treat as available for the exchange.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A discourse particle can signal that a speaker is treating an assumption as shared or expecting a challenge. Common ground is the background the participants take for granted. The role of a particular particle depends on its use in the exchange.

    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Common ground consists of assumptions participants treat as shared. A discourse particle can cue them to retrieve an assumption, confirm it or treat it as disputed. Whether the participants actually share it is a matter for the exchange itself.
