During recent years, many sociolinguists have been arguing that talk, or linguistic form, and socio-cultural and linguistic context are to be seen as mutually constitutive phenomena.
Context, then, is no longer regarded as something that is simply given or pre-established of which talk is a mere derivation or reflection. In fact, linguistic interaction is now commonly viewed as a dynamic process in which speakers signal to their interlocutors how to interpret what is being said.
