Context describes the network of circumstances that surround and inform a statement, text, action, culture, or concept. This can include historical setting, literary structure, cultural assumptions, audience expectations, and immediate surroundings such as neighboring sentences or events. Attention to context helps clarify intended meaning, limits misunderstanding, and explains why the same words or actions may carry different implications in different settings. Rather than adding meaning, context frames how meaning is recognized and evaluated.
