John Rupert Firth (1890–1960), along with colleague Bronisław Malinowski, was one of the founders of the London school of sociological linguistics, and was a key founder of modern general linguistics in the United Kingdom. He anticipated much of what was to come in twentieth‐century sociolinguistics, and his theories of meaning – being predicated on the “context of situation” – has influenced studies of pragmatics, discourse analysis, and the ethnography of communication
