Books in the Collected Works of Ruqaiya Hasan series

Focuses on the relations of context and text, conceptualising the latter as language operative in some recognizable social context. Acting as the interface between language and society, context analysis reveals the power of language for creating, maintaining, and changing human relationships.

The chapters of this volume explore the intimate relations of society, language and mind: the development of each of these depends on the contribution of the other two.
