Abstract
⺠Conventionalization in language is a dynamic process. ⺠Participants ask and answer metalinguistic questions to reduce semantic indeterminacies. ⺠Through metalinguistic discourse participants create and confirm language conventions. ⺠Verbal continuities are validated and renewed in concrete episodes of communication. ⺠Semantic indeterminacies are creative, not 'repairables'.
