Speaking in the mirror of the other: Dialectics of intersubjectivity and temporality in Western Apache discourse

► We examine figurations of self and other across three Western Apache ways of speaking. ► These include: 'speaking with names,' 'ch'idii (gossip) and b1'hadziih (oratory). ► We find positionings of self and other drawn by means of a temporalizing semiotics of relatedness. ► We propose a view of intersubjectivity articulating an anticipatory or subjunctive sociality.
