In more familiar terms, ‘consensual domain’ may be described as ‘shared physical context’. The concept of ‘consensual domain’ is important in understanding the biology of cognition and the cognitive nature of linguistic behavior as ensuring that individual organismic organization may be grounded in interactional behavioral patterns (interactions with other observers). Thus, the key concept of ‘consensual domain’ is close to the ecological perspective on ‘talking together’ as outlined by Hodges in this issue (Hodges, 2007), who cites Verbrugge (1985) as the first to offer an ecological account of language by suggesting that “the best observation point” for viewing language is to see it as “a form of social interaction” (p. 191). Ross (this volume) observes – very much in the spirit of autopoiesis – that “similar public linguistic representations cue similar behavioral responses in individuals with similar learning histories, as a result of conventional associations established by those similar histories”.
