Context is everywhere. Context is everything. Context is whatever contributes, consciously or unconsciously, to the understanding of reality to facilitate language processing in human interaction. We continuously construct and constrain context in our minds to understand and be understood. The Cambridge Handbook of Language in Context describes how context interacts with language across different traditions and theories, and the chapters in the volume will answer some critical questions in context studies that have been puzzling linguists and scholars from other related fields, such as how much context goes into a specific linguistic model or what facets of contextual information are indispensable in a specific theory.
To answer some of these burning questions, the volume brings together some of the most influential scholars in linguistics and provides a comprehensive guide to language in context from a multifaceted perspective.
