Preface
The volume
of
theSKY
yearbook that you now havein
your handis
both the biggest and the most international to date. We have also tried to makeit
more pleasing to the eye by using the same style and font throughout.This volume has been inspired by two events organized by the Linguistic Association of Finland during the aurumn
of
1992.The first event, held at Mekrijärvi in the easterrirnost part of Fin- land, was
a
workshop on the syntaxof
spoken language. This topic is represented by two articles in the current volume: one byAuli
Hakulinen and the otherby
Knud Lambrecht, who, as oneof
the invited speakers, played a central rolein
the workshop.We hope that the impact of this workshop
will
also be reflectedin
future volumes of SKY.The
second event was heldin
Helsinki:a
symposium on Language and Context organized by the Association to mark its 15th anniversary. Of the 16 contributions to this yearbook, 12 are the resultof
this symposium. As the present volume shows, the general topic of the symposium can be approached from a wide varietyof
angles rangingfrom a
detailed investigationof
the interactionsof
logical meaning and pragmatic inferenceto
the critical analysisof
the useof
languagein
politics and the mass media.Two of
the articles were writtenby
linguists who were guest spreakers at the symposium: Laurence Horn and DeirdreWilson.
Contributionsby
Finnish linguiststo the
Symposium includethe
collectionof
articlesin
the section entitled News Reporting, World Crises, and ldeology based onMA
theses by studentsof
English at the University of Helsinki.In
the Discussion and Squibs section,Timo
Haukioja andMartti Nyman take a critical look at
fundamental issuesin
generative linguistics.
We look
forwardto
further debate and discussionon the
issues addressedin this
sectionor on
any topicsof
current interest to the wider linguistic community.Susanna Shore
