In human-machine communication, people interact with a communication partner that is of a different ontological nature from themselves. This study examines how people conceptualize ontological differences between humans and computers and the implications of these differences for human-machine communication.

In the literature, Computer Inquiries enjoys hallowed status as a key foundation of the Internet’s rise.
This Article, however, argues that …
