, Lecture 1: Why and How do We Communicate
Readings
Enfield, “Relationship Thinking. Agency, Enchrony and Human
Sociality,” 2013
⇒ The most important concepts out of the reading are written down below.
Code-In-Context
Code: “refers to any system of symbolic units that is conventionalized in a historical
community and learned by children, through which form-meaning maps are built are identical
in language acquisition, e.g. words, grammar rules, hand gestures and other bodily
movements.”
→ must be considered in its context
Individualized society
(de Waal, Tyack)
“individualized, longitudinal type of society”
→ biological fact that in all cultures, society is made up of bodily distinct, physically mobile,
individual mortals who are not telepathic and whose interactions must thereby be managed
by semiotic means.
dyadic relationships: means can be used for predicted outcome
longitudinal societies: long term and/or multi-generational relationships
Relationship.grounded society (Enfield)
→ altering of individualized society
every member presents common set of problems of social life
language → maintenance of social relations
Locus: communicative interactions
Relationship: set of rights and duties applying to interaction between members of a dyad.
Rights: “If it is your right to do something, then you will not be held accountable for doing it;
people will not be justifiably surprised when you do it.”
Duty: “One will be held accountable for not doing something, people will be justifiably
surprised or disposed to sanction if you do not do it.”
Changes of status: in small (e.g. conversation) and big time spans (e.g. lifetime)
Interplay: cooperation (e.g. trust, compassion, common identity) vs competition (e.g. social
distinction, deception)
⇒ Types of relationships → define social statuses and identities → rights and duties →
define components of social structures and society as a whole
⇒ Interactions constitute relationships.
