Mercer provides the disclaimer that interthinking is a valuable concept that is still not currently cohesive in scholarly research. Language is a constantly studied realm for researchers trying to pry into the primordial facets of the human condition. However it cannot be disputed that language links intellect. Modes of communicating with each other in terms of cumulative, disputational, exploratory offer participants to making creative contributions to the sense-making.
I really liked this book, it was well written and provided a good overview of the syntactic of language and conversation. Mercer is providing a great foundation about the facets of language and communications in regards to individual development and group dynamic. Communications are at a constant to be ever changing according to the influences of society, technology and computers are the latest additions to be understood.
I plan to use many ideas from this book in my art classroom.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the book and found some ideas that could be of use in your practice.
