Abstract

This review article is a discussion of Stephen Cowley’s (2011) anthology entitled Distributed Language. The review takes up some important concepts and discussions that have acquired renewed interest within the language sciences, in and through Distributed Language Theory. These include the claims that language is ‘distributed’, ‘non-local’ and ‘values-realising’. In particular I discuss the relation of DLT to ‘dialogical’ ideas of language and languaging, that is, claims that human sense-making (in languaging and by other means) is fundamentally characterised by interdependencies between different sense-makers.
