Abstract:

Please note: This is a new paperback edition of a previously announced book.

After his earlier book Discourse and Context, also published by Cambridge
University Press, Teun A. van Dijk in this 2009 study presents the second part
of his new multidisciplinary theory of context. The main thesis of this theory
is that the influence of society on discourse is not direct, as is postulated
for instance in sociolinguistics, but cognitively mediated by subjective
mental models of the communicative situation: context models. These dynamic
models control discourse production and comprehension and define the pragmatic
appropriateness of text and talk. Whereas in Discourse and Context the
psychological and linguistic aspects of context were analyzed, this book
focuses on the social psychological, sociological, anthropological and
political aspects of context. Tony Blair's 2003 speech defending his motion to
go to war against Saddam Hussein and the following debate in parliament is
used as an example illustrating the new theory.
