Ragnar Rommetveit

Area of Science:

Linguistics
Psycholinguistics
Social Psychology
Phenomenological Philosophy

Background:

Ragnar Rommetveit developed a hermeneutic-dialogical approach to everyday spoken dialogue.
He critiqued the individualistic and experimental focus of mainstream 1960s-1970s linguistic and psycholinguistic research.
His work was influenced by phenomenological philosophy, emphasizing social psychology.

Purpose of the Study:

To present the core concepts and methodologies of Rommetveit's hermeneutic-dialogical approach.
To highlight Rommetveit's critique of traditional research for neglecting interactively established meaning in dialogue.
To introduce Rommetveit's alternative conceptualization of dialogue as a co-established, contextualized, and partially private world.

Main Methods:

Keywords:

Epistemic responsibility Intersubjectivity Meaning potential Perspective Spontaneous spoken dialogue

Related Experiment Videos

Focus on the perspectives of interlocutors and a 'psychology of the second person'.
Emphasis on intersubjectivity, perspectivity, perspectival relativity, meaning potential, and epistemic responsibility.
Primarily utilized casuistic analyses (logical analyses of fictitious examples).

Main Results:

Rommetveit's approach conceptualizes dialogue as a shared, contextualized reality.
It prioritizes understanding meaning as it is interactively established between speakers.
His work offers a phenomenologically oriented alternative to experimental psycholinguistics.

Conclusions:

Rommetveit's hermeneutic-dialogical approach provides a valuable critique and alternative to traditional dialogue research.
His focus on intersubjectivity and context challenges individualistic orientations in psycholinguistics.
Though unfinished, his work offers a significant supplement to current research on spoken dialogue.
