Just a quick clarification. H.Clark's book is titled 'Using Language'.
Interestingly, in the last years Clark and Nick Enfield have been using
the
concept of Common Ground in multimodal interactions incorporating
material
environments.
Clark, H. (2005). Coordinating each other in a material world. Discourse
Studies7 (4-5), 507-525.
Enfield, N.J. (2006). Social consequences of common ground. In N.J.
Enfield
&
S.C. Levinson (eds.), Roots of human sociality: Culture, cognition and
interaction(pp.399-430). Oxford: Berg.
Enfield, N.J. (2008). Common ground as a resource for social affiliation.
In
I.Kecskes & J.L. (eds), Intention, common ground and the egocentric
speaker-hearer(pp.223-254). Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.

composite
utterances. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
Hope this helps
