13310320, Context Posted by MEAT, Tue Jan-29-19 07:41 PM
In semiotics, linguistics, sociology and anthropology, context refers to those objects or entities which surround a focal event, in these disciplines typically a communicative event, of some kind. Context is "a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation". It is thus a relativistic concept, only definable with respect to some focal event, not independently.
