i.e. on the particular time and particular place at which the speaker makes an utterance and the particular time and place at which the

listener hears or reads the utterance.

External Factors

4. Co-text – another major factor influencing the interpretation of meaning.

It refers to the linguistic context or the textual environment provided by the discourse or text

in which a particular utterance occurs.

Co-text constrains the way in which we interpret the response.
