Chapter 8 meaning and Context

要记两个重要部分:

1 Context 如何进行分类

两种: 1) Linguistic context

In a narrow sense, it refers to the words, clauses, sentences in which a word

appears. This is known as linguistic context which may cover a paragraph, a whole chapter and even the entire book.

2) Extra-linguistic context or non-linguistic context
