Abstract
In recent decades, scholars in the fields of anthropology, social psychology, cognitive linguistics, and neuroscience have contributed several key complementary insights related to the negotiation of meaning in communication. The first is that the way our bodies experience the world forms the way we think about everything. Another is that the negotiations of social identity and interpersonal relations are precursors to the rest of our negotiations of meaning. Finally, cultural reproduction accounts for a good deal of what we believe are our own ideas, thoughts, and experiences.
