Sommario/riassunto

This monograph develops a new socio-cognitive theory of sense-making for analyzing the creative management of situated social meaning.

It shows how these sense-making processes are managed through the coordinated social interaction of two (or more) communicative partners.To illustrate the theory, the book draws on two distinct data sets:
