Context has been so far analysed basically according to two perspectives: a) as given and presumptive, prior to pragmatic actions, in line with the Anglo-American approach inspired by Austin and Grice; and b) as constructed through pragmatic actions, according to what may be defined as the sociological turn, more frequently characterizing European 'continental' studies. In this forthcoming issue of Anglistica AION, we wish to gather new and different insights to context, starting from considering the increasing importance of pragmatic theories, stylistics and statistical studies in the analysis of literary texts, and the questions they pose: Can all texts be analysed pragmatically? Does the genre of a given text with its constraints and/or possibilities force the use of a specific pragmatic theory for its (contextual) analysis? How does the text's aesthetics influence the pragmatic analysis and the results the analyst is left with? Should the temporal-historical aspect be taken into account when choosing a pragmatic theory in

S. Coleridge through the particular style used by the narrator to tell about the encounter between Christabel-the apparent Christ-like 'victim'-and the beautiful, snake-woman Geraldine, who seduces her. The goal is to bring out the rhetorical structures and the narrative-discursive ways through which the text builds a phantasmagorical and non-realistic scenario. The analytic model in use in this analysis draws on text linguistics and stylistics complemented by concepts and theories inspired by logic and philosophy of language.
