In this article, Clark's theory of language use is applied to the study of conversations of augmented speakers and their addressees. Discussion focuses on how shared meaning--called common ground--is achieved, the process of grounding utterances under real-time constraints, and how the media characteristics of devices affect the grounding process. A joint action analysis of grounding will be applied to examples of word-board and Voice Output Communication Aid (VOCA)-mediated conversations to show how participants organize their talk around specific media constraints to conduct their conversations and solve communication problems. The authors argue that this model of device-mediated communication performance, or some variety of it, has the potential to reconcile many of the individual research findings in this field within a single explanatory framework. If successful, this approach could be used to evaluate future research with an empirically-based model of communication performance.
在本文中，克拉克的语言使用理论被应用于对增强型说话者与其对话者之间对话的研究。讨论集中于如何达成共享意义——即所谓的共同基础，在实时限制下使话语落地的过程，以及设备的媒介特性如何影响落地过程。对落地的联合行动分析将应用于单词板和语音输出交流辅助设备（VOCA）介导的对话示例，以展示参与者如何围绕特定的媒介限制组织他们的谈话，从而进行对话并解决交流问题。作者认为，这种设备介导的交流表现模型，或其某种变体，有可能在一个单一的解释框架内调和该领域的许多个体研究结果。如果成功，这种方法可用于基于实证的交流表现模型来评估未来的研究。
