**linguistic context**

The term “linguistic context” refers to the surrounding language and discourse that helps to determine the meaning and interpretation of a word, phrase, sentence, or text. It encompasses the words, sentences, and larger communication environment in which language is used, providing crucial clues that influence understanding. In linguistics, analyzing the linguistic context is essential for unpacking ambiguity, irony, meaning shifts, and the relationship between elements in communication.
