Context (linguistics)
Context ( Latin contexere , 'weave together ) referred to in the linguistics (Linguistics), particularly in the communication theory all the elements of a communication situation that the understanding with determine an utterance, so the existing for the particular speech situation "relating to the use of a word".
Typing
The determining elements are typified in two directions. On the one hand, one differentiates between
- linguistic context, also known as verbal context , and cotext
- situational context, also known as non-verbal context
On the other hand, a distinction is made between general context , personal and social context and linguistic context .
- The general context of the speech situation is called “the place, time and context of the utterance”.
- The personal and social context is the “relationship between speaker and listener, their attitudes, interests and knowledge or their mutual knowledge assumptions”.
- As a linguistic context , the context "which links the expressions grammatically and semantically and at the same time embeds the expressions in the situational context through deixis or pragmatic indicators such as modal particles ..." is assessed. The (linguistic) context can be differentiated into closer (micro-context) and further (macro-context).
