There is no dialogue. It is just a scene as the group moves through the woods, fighting something or someone. The theme is that they are moving together.
From the clip a few things about the coming season are abundantly clear. First and foremost, despite their differences and past issues, the group is together and moving as unified and very deadly front.

Secondly, Rick remains the leader. They follow him unquestionably. For his part, he's leading with authority. There's a sort of calmness about him for most of trailer.
Obviously this is just a tactic to get us excited for the next season but it may also point to a more action packed half season than we're used to.
Of course there are some people missing. There's no Noah in the trailer and we've heard rumors that he may not be coming back as he appeared to be missing from filming.
Also, with all seriousness, where are the children? Both Carl and Judith are missing as well. For a trailer that is all about the togetherness, Rick doesn't seem to be taking great care of his family.
Still, it is interesting to note that they are unified against a common threat which does seem to point a very direct villain for the upcoming season, not just a general struggle to survive.
The Walking Dead returns to AMC on February 8.
