When we use language, we presuppose many different things. Context
is another name for these presuppositions. But it also can be the
name of all these different presuppositions ordered in a certain
way. This study of context focuses on the differences since many
studies of context focus excessively on usage found in the sciences
and in everyday observations. Other uses such as promising, giving
directions, evaluating (i.e., ranking) all sorts of things around
us, expressing our feelings, and issuing declarations (e.g., "You
are promoted") are equally important. The analogy of 'geography,'
as used in this study, suggests that one important way to study
context is to attend to all, not just one, of the "continents"
found in the "planet" that we call context. Once we learn our
geography lesson, we come to a better understanding of how context
can change, how it can be ordered, and how it can be examined. We
also learn how layered, and thus how complicated it is.
