We often find ourselves communicating from radically different perspectives on the world. In this new book Ludlow explains how we successfully communicate across some radically diverse perspectival positions, including diverse temporal, spatial and personal positions, through our use of cognitive dynamics.

Peter Ludlow has published in a number of areas, ranging from linguistics and the philosophy of language, to topics concerning group knowledge, blockchain technology, virtual worlds, and hacktivism. His recent published books include Living Words: Meaning Underdetermination and the Dynamic Lexicon, and The Philosophy of Generative Linguistics (both with OUP).
