Abstract
Language meaning covers static and dynamic aspects. The difference between dynamic and static contextual meanings lies in generalization and concretization, reference in general and that in particular, expression and hint, standard and deviation, original meaning and added meaning, directness and indirectness, meaning within words and meaning beyond words, etc.. Understanding contextual meaning requires semantic clue inference in accordance with the content, i.e. understanding discourses from different angles of social meaning, association meaning, emotional meaning, meaning contrary to principles, presupposed meaning, verbal and behavioral meaning and suggestive meaning.
