However taken for granted in our daily dealings, context is a crucial ingredient, as it comes to our deriving meaning from what we hear, see, experience, etc.
So, let us first ensure that we are deriving the same mental image, here, before we attempt to go any further.
Context can be informally described as the scenario, setting, or larger environment, within which anything receiving the focus of our attention is currently located (or usually found).
Accordingly, this e-book-form Web site for MieNet's WebRings acts as context for the present page on 'context,' for example. It likewise lends itself as the context for each of MieNet's WebRings: it is within the context of the current e-book-form Web site, that each of the Rings here contained gains full meaning.
Likewise, it is within the larger context provided by MieNet, that one can get to know and become familiar with the current Rings' Home and Directory – and ultimately attribute it meaning.
Let us now see a few other examples, in order to make this point as clear as possible. For, after all, we tend to take context for granted, and therefore not to notice it, nor notice the intense use we make of it!
Just the same, we do not usually notice at all the relevance of context to the process of deriving meaning, as we go about our lives.
Once we have a clear picture of the central role context plays upon the way we understand, go about, and relate to the world around us, we can then go ahead and link this information also to the realm of WebRings.
