What stuff is what im trying to get at!!
Is context the reasons why a text is published a particular way?
E.g. (Easter show advertisement). Would the context be of contemporary society that is fond of entertainment and fun?
Would a cultural context of this be that the Easter Show is a prestigious event?
context.. hmm let's look at it in terms of good old shakespeare....
what's the context of Hamlet?
It was written during the elizabethan time,
people or society valued violence.. stage peformance, comedy, the usual clowns and religion...
shakespere's context influenced the outcome of his play 'Hamlet'... were he combined all these contextual influences into his play which reflected upon society, his values... and at the same time provided a tonne of entertainiment...
also noting that stage performance was a major attraction... u would find people from all over England gathering to watch one of shakespears plays... due to the fact that T.V's weren't yet invented.... there were no radios... so yeh...
so context is basically the where?... when? and who? factors of a certain text ot text type...
