On the Roles of Context in Verbal Communication
Tian Ying
Abstract—Communication is a common phenomenon in our
society and language is an important communicative media in
the process of human communication. The use of verbal
communication is the most basic life ability in our society.
Language is a carrier of transmitting information. It’s not easy
for people to have successful verbal communication without the
specific context. Context, which plays an important role in the
communication and communicators, is a central concept in
pragmatics. In the process of verbal communication, all the
parts of context have close relationship between each other. So
we must not only pay attention to the roles of the speech, but
also focus on the language environment.
Owing to the significant role of context in verbal communication, this paper first makes a wide illustration of the definition of context from many scholars both at home and abroad. Then it introduces a complicated social phenomenon and how to carry on successful verbal communication. Finally it analyses the roles of context in verbal communication from restricting semantic meaning, resolving ambiguity, understanding language implicature and understanding deixis.
Index Terms—Context, verbal communication, utterance, role.
