The foundational framework for how conversational participants establish mutual understanding. Clark and Brennan introduce the concept of common ground and the grounding process: the moment-by-moment coordination through which speakers and listeners confirm that they have understood each other well enough to proceed. A prerequisite for thinking clearly about where AI conversation falls short.
