Abstract
This chapter concerns intersubjectivity, a prerequisite for the smooth progress of interaction. Central aspects of intersubjectivity that are discussed here include progressivity, common ground, epistemics, and shared understanding. Progressivity in conversation involves the ways in which actions are projected and linked in order for interaction to proceed smoothly, as well as the ways that discontinuities in conversation are dealt with, for example through the organization of repair, which is used to address problems in speaking, hearing, or understanding. Common ground is the term used for information and meanings that are treated as already mutually shared by participants in conversation, expressed in the ways actions are formatted and verbal constructions are chosen. Epistemics deals with how knowledge is managed in interpersonal encounters, for example, through negotiations of the rights and responsibilities of participants to know something. Examples illustrating the discussion come from English, Finnish, and Swedish everyday conversation.
