3.5 The context theory
3.5.1 The beginning of the study of context
The study of context rooted from the study of language meaning.What is "meaning"? This is the question scholars have been trying to answer for a long time.However, it's difficult to give an exact definition of "meaning".British scholars C.K.Ogclen and I.A.Richards claim there are as many as 22 meanings of the word "meaning" (Malinowski, 1923) , Therefore meaning has become the common research topic of linguistics and other sciences such as philosophy, neurology and semiotics.Each of these sciences studies meaning from its own perspective and gives it different explanations, in which there are overlaps.In the course oftheir study, scholars realized that the explanation of meaning could not be successfully accomplished without fully knowing the functions of the context concerned.Early in ancient Greek and Rome scholars began realizing the strong relationship between a piece of language used in a particular situation and certain features of the situation.
