Abstract

Abstract

In 8:1 (2018), Peter Jones wrote a critical article dealing with dialogical theory in the context of language and communication. His article covered several theoretical and methodological frameworks dealing with concepts of dialogue, here interpreted from the point-of-view of Roy Harris’s integrationism. Edda Weigand (this issue) has written a comprehensive discussion article which mainly focuses on Pablé (2018) and Orman (2018) as well as Harris’s original work. In my present response to Jones I deal almost exclusively with my own version of “extended dialogism”, which was included among his targets. I argue that extended dialogism is actually a form of moderate integrationism. I demonstrate that Jones’s contribution has several interesting points, but that it also contains a number of misguided interpretations.
