Reviews

'Informative, impressively broad in scope, thoughtfully conceived of as a collection, and, most of all, masterly executed by experts in the individual fields, this is a must-read for everyone who cares about the role of context in creating and conveying meaning. As the Editor says, 'context is everywhere'; this collection shows how to approach it, in its different guises and functions, from a variety of perspectives.' Kasia M. Jaszczolt, Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy of Language, University of Cambridge 'This Handbook is an exceptionally significant volume which highlights the importance of context for language processing. Containing 21 well-balanced chapters across five parts, it includes descriptions both of the evolution of theories of context and modern day applications and advances. It is an incredibly worthy addition to any collection of linguistics texts.' Rachael-Anne Knight, Professor of Phonetics, University of Essex
