What does context mean?

Context is the speech environment, which includes both linguistic and non-linguistic factors. Context, time, space, situation, object, discourse premise and other related to the use of words are all contextual factors. From the perspective of the historical status of context research, the definitions of context and its basic contents are not exactly the same in different disciplines and different academic schools. The concept of context was first introduced by the British anthropologist B. Malinowski in 1923. He distinguished two types of contexts, one is "situational context" and the other is "cultural context". It can also be said to be divided into "linguistic context" and "non-linguistic context".
