Empirical evidence from dialogue, both corpus and experimental, highlights the importance of interaction in language use–and this raises some questions for Christiansen & Chater’s (C&C’s) proposals. We endorse C&C’s call for an integrated framework but argue that their emphasis on local, individual production and comprehension makes it difficult to accommodate the ubiquitous, interactive, and defeasible processes of clarification and repair in conversation.Language is first encountered and deployed in interaction. A characteristic feature of natural interaction is that people often need to address problems with mutual understanding in which elements of what has been said need to be reworked or redone in some way. These processes raise some important questions for Christiansen & Chater’s (C&C’s) proposals. We support C&C’s approach and agree that an integrated framework for the language sciences is a desirable goal for language researchers. However, we argue that C&C’s emphasis on local, individual production and comprehension misses some of the key challenges posed by the processes of clarification and repair in conversation.
