Intertexts : writings on language, utterance, and context
Over the past two decades, William Hanks has explored the dynamics of verbal interaction and how speakers and listeners make meaning through language. Using both theory and empirical description, Hanks's writings analyze linguistic form, speech processes, and sociocultural context. His commitment to interdisciplinary research stems from his joint training in linguistics and anthropology and embraces elements from philosophy, literary theory, and history
