Deep dialogism, inner voices, and mental health
Mind &Language, EarlyView.The idea that cognition involves dialogic interchange between mutually influencing “voices” has long featured in psychology and philosophy.

We introduce two dimensions of dialogism, strength and depth,

Mind &Language, EarlyView.We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...
