Language, Culture and Knowledge in Context : A Functional-Cognitive Approach Paperback / softback
by Brian Nolan
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
