Analysis of the role of context in the comprehension of discourse

FU Tang-jing

Abstract

Context is very complicated and various. It plays key role in the creation of discourse and the comprehension of its meaning. By means of context hearers can understand implication, discriminate ambiguity to get accurate information, infer common information from unqualified or innormal sentences from the perspective of semantics, specific and clear information from ambiguous meaning and opposite information to the sentence meaning. Also, we can omit and automatically complement sentence meaning from context.
