Recent years saw a growing interest in the study of subjectivity,
as the linguistic expression of speaker involvement.
Intersubjectivity, defined by Traugott as "the linguistic
expression of a speaker/writer's attention to the hearer/reader",
on the other hand, has so far received little explicit attention in
its own right, let alone systematic definition and
operationalization. Intersubjectivity and seemingly related notions
such as interpersonal meaning, appraisal, stance and metadiscourse,
frequently appear in cognitive-functional accounts, as well as
historical and more applied approaches. These domains offer
(partly) conflicting uses of 'intersubjectivity', differ in the
overall scope of the concept and the phenomena it may cover.This
book brings together contributions from a variety of different
approaches, with the aim of disentangling the current web of
intertwined notions of intersubjectivity. Rather than focusing on
the potentially conflicting views, the volume aspires to resolve
some of the conceptual puzzle by cross-fertilization between the
different views, and spark discussion on how to operationalize
'intersubjectivity' in linguistic research. Originally published in
