Abstract
Providing an orientation to this edited collection, the introduction considers the nature of money as an object and sign of value. It explores the communicative possibilities of money and financial exchange in the context of everyday routine activities. Mooney and Sifaki explain that the following chapters pay attention to how money is used by people to do things. It introduces the four parts of the book: Childhood, Money and the Everyday, Media and What is Money?
The chapter then provides a possible framework for analysing the different meanings that attach to human monetary exchanges. Based on Jakobson’s six functions of language, and treating a transaction as the prototypical financial communicative event, the authors outline six corresponding functions for money.
