An Approach to the Types of “Context”

Context, which is the result of companionship and homogeneity of words and sentences, due to its capability to illustrate layers of sense in a vast space, unlike the meaning of word and sentence, becomes important. Such capability is caused by some evidences and circumstances surrounding the words and certain metaphorical communications, in addition to the characteristic of singulars and the arrangement thereof. A collection of these features and a combination of evidences leads to an appearance which is the origin of context and, in turn, it becomes a cause for realization of different types of contextual appearance including lexical and non-lexical, in addition to their subtypes. Such types are preceded by determination of the basis concerning limitation of the nature of context from the wideness and narrowness perspectives. Since the selected opinion in this regard is the inclusiveness of textual evidences in addition to verbal evidences in the field of context, the authors will consider different types of contextual appearance. The result of this typology may, in practice, help in the course of inference and prepare the ground for widening the meaning of precepts.
