Contexts

What contexts are?


Contexts are what surround a text or situation.

If we don't know the context of something, we may misunderstand what is going on with the text or situation. This both images are some examples.





The image above happened just after a guy beated the blue haired guy.

 
In the image above a guy just gave a candy to the green guy. But if you only read the sentence... you may misunderstand.

There are two main types of contexts:

CONTEXT OF PRODUCTION
CONTEXT OF RECEPTION

The first one is the context (historical, usualy) that surrounds the author of the text. The context of reception is the context of the reader (like you).
