“Gasiorek and Aune brilliantly tackle the Communication discipline’s most central yet (ironically) most misunderstood problem: how is it that we do this thing we call communication? Creating Understanding has totally changed my understanding of understandingThis insightful work is a must read for those interested in the social science of communication.”—Timothy R. Levine, Author, Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Science of Lying and Deception; Professor, University of Alabama at Birmingham
“Understanding is often as difficult to define as it is to experience. How do we understand others, and how do we know we have understood them? These are among the provocative questions deftly unpacked in this exciting new volume by Gasiorek and Aune. The authors introduce a process model of how people generate entrainment in their mental representations of interaction. By situating understanding at the core of communication—and by integrating perspectives from philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive psychology—Gasiorek and Aune have reconceptualized the very nature of what it means to understand.”Kory Floyd, Co-editor, The Handbook of Communication Science and Biology; Professor, University of Arizona
