Traditional accounts of language processing suggest that monologue--presenting and listening to speeches--should be more straightforward than dialogue--holding a conversation. This is clearly not the case. We argue that conversation is easy because of an interactive processing mechanism that leads to the alignment of linguistic representations between partners. Interactive alignment occurs via automatic alignment channels that are functionally similar to the automatic links between perception and behaviour (the so-called perception-behaviour expressway) proposed in recent accounts of social interaction. We conclude that humans are "designed" for dialogue rather than monologue.
传统的语言处理观点认为，独白（即发表和聆听演讲）应该比对话（即进行交谈）更简单直接。但事实显然并非如此。我们认为，对话之所以容易，是因为存在一种交互式处理机制，这种机制会导致对话双方语言表征的对齐。交互式对齐是通过自动对齐通道实现的，这些通道在功能上类似于近期社会互动观点中提出的感知与行为之间的自动联系（即所谓的感知-行为高速公路）。我们得出结论，人类是“为对话而非独白而设计”的。
