English This paper, expounding one of the focal issues of my dissertation, concerns some communicative dynamics that are bound to discourse and dialogue common ground, i.e. to the set of common knowledge, beliefs and values shared by the interlocutors as individuals and members of a certain community and building an important component of community’s identity. The common ground evolves and increases in communicative interaction in two distinct ways: through all the factual material explicitly manifested in communication, and through accommodation, i.e. through an adjustment of the common ground imposed by the presuppositions of what has been said. From the theoretical point of view, this paper deals with the problem of presupposition and with the functioning of this dimension in verbal communication. From the empirical point of view, the main concern is the risk of manipulation implied by various practices of accommodation.
