(Popova, 2022)
- Communication
In dialogue, the meaning in each response is similar not identical, so there is
‘A continual emergence of a new content that is common to both participants’
‘Two people are making something in common., i.e. creating something new together.’
- Dialogue
‘ a flow of meaning in the whole group, out of which may emerge some new understanding.’
‘This shared meaning is the ‘glue’ or ‘cement’ that holds people and societies together.’
