Abstract:

This volume investigates the nature of language, culture, knowledge, and
context, and their interrelationships. Each of these is defined — in terms of
their relationship to language in particular, and to identify their respective
properties. What exactly is meant by the term knowledge and what are the
different kinds of knowledge? How might this be shared in a dialogue between
two interlocutors, within a shared common ground, in the realisation of
successful speech acts?

Cultural and other knowledge is also found within the linguistic landscape and
the artefacts within our environment. The book explores the ways that language
is central to expressions of knowledge and culture. The purpose of the book is
therefore to draw a comprehensive and representative picture of the dimensions
of meaning, emerging from the interrelationship between these domains of
language, culture, knowledge, and context.
