Abstract:

For more than a decade, linguistics has moved increasingly away from
evaluating language as an autonomous phenomenon, towards analysing it
'in use', and showing how its function within its social and
interactional context plays an important role in shaping in its form.
Bringing together state-of-the-art research from some of the most
influential scholars in linguistics today, this Handbook presents an
extensive picture of the study of language as it used 'in context'
across a number of key linguistic subfields and frameworks. Organised
into five thematic parts, the volume covers a range of theoretical
perspectives, with each chapter surveying the latest work from areas
as diverse as syntax, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, applied
linguistics, conversational analysis, multimodality, and
computer-mediated communication. Comprehensive, yet wide-ranging, the
Handbook presents a full description of how the theory of context has
revolutionised linguistics, and how its renewed study is crucial in an
ever-changing world.
