in context, how speakers create and negotiate context in interaction, and how context is dealt with in different research traditions. We seek to explore ways in which researchers can fruitfully work across methodological and disciplinary boundaries. Particularly
in the (broadly defined) field of discourse analysis, there are widely recognized approaches which are often associated with specific methodological tools.
