In this chapter we explore the interrelated phenomena of
conventionalization and conventions. We argue that the essence of
convention is to facilitate meaning making in interaction, while
conventionalization refers to the process through which conventions come
into existence. We investigate the pragmatic complexity surrounding
convention and conventionalization by arguing that (1)
conventionalization is a matter of degree; (2) conventions and
conventionalization are particularly prominent in intercultural
interactions; and (3) language and socialisation are highly relevant to
conventionalization. We also investigate facets of language use with
complex implications for convention and practice, and we provide various
interactional examples to illustrate these facets.
