situational semantics

Situational semantics is an approach in linguistics and philosophy that emphasizes the meaning of words and sentences based on the specific context or situation in which they are used. Instead of assuming words have fixed meanings, it recognizes that meaning can change depending on factors like who is speaking, where they are, and what circumstances they're describing. This approach helps explain how communication is understood in real-life situations, as meanings often depend on the particular context rather than just the words themselves.
