Language and Social Situations

Exploring the intricate relationship between language and social situations, this volume features contributions from psychologists, linguists, and philosophers across multiple countries. It highlights the significance of understanding how situational features influence language use, a concept rooted in symbolic interactionism. Originating from discussions at the 2nd International Conference of Language and Social Psychology in 1983, the book aims to bridge gaps in research and illuminate the social-psychological dimensions of language.
