In linguistic studies, the term explanation does not live up to what the philosophers of science intend it to mean. In these pages, explanation is put on firmer theoretical footing via a relation of language to the various contexts in which it is embedded. A detailed analysis of the psychological context in particular shows that language processing provides a fruitful approach to explaining linguistic structure and change.
