Language and Context

Language is the system of words and symbols we use to communicate thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Context refers to the circumstances or background surrounding an exchange—such as location, culture, or situation—that influence how language is understood. Together, language and context shape meaning; the same words can have different interpretations depending on where, when, or why they are used. Understanding both helps us interpret messages accurately and ensures effective communication in various situations.
