| Context, context dependency: sentences, words and texts depend to a varying extent on the addition of additional information to eliminate ambiguities. In particular, the use of index words such as "here", "now", but also of pronouns like "mine" leads to indeterminacy of the reference. The additional information may possibly be taken from an already existing information set, whereby the sentences to be examined, words or texts, form a subset of this more comprehensive set. Such a more comprehensive amount of information already existing elsewhere is called context. See also dependency, ambiguity, indeterminacy, discovery._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

I 266 HungerlandVs"Inductive Conception" of the context implication: to claim p implies, believe that p. Instead: if a claim is normal, everything is implied, what you may conclude. That depends on: 1) context, 2) assumptions about normality and 3) rules of use. I 277 HungerlandVsStrawson. >P.F.
