CONTEXT

CARLOS PINALES

CONTEXT ANDCO-TEXT

  • Context encompasses a broader range of factors, including situational, social, psychological, and pragmatic elements, that influence the interpretation of language.
  • It goes beyond the immediate text and considers the extralinguistic factors that affect the meaning of a particular utterance or text.

  • When someone says, "I'm exhausted," the interpretation of this statement can vary based on different contexts.
- Situational: marathon.- Social context: work or family life.- Psychological: state of health.- Pragmatic: to seek empathy or explain their behavior.

  • In the sentence, "She wore a heavy coat because it was so cold outside," the co-text of the word "coat" includes the words "wore," "a heavy," and "because it was so cold outside." These words provide necessary information for understanding the meaning of "coat."

CO-TEXT

  • It refers to the immediate linguistic context surrounding a particular word or phrase within a text.
  • It includes the words and phrases that appear nearby in the same sentence or paragraph and helps to determine the specific meaning or interpretation of the target word or phrase.
