In semiotics, linguistics, sociology and anthropology, context refers to those objects or entities which surround a focal event, in these disciplines typically a communicative event, of some kind. Context is "a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation".[1]: 2–3 It is thus a relative concept, only definable with respect to some focal event within a frame, not independently of that frame.
