Context and Implicitness: Consequences for Traditional and Computer-Assisted Text Analysis

  • Chapter
Book cover Formal Aspects of Context

Part of the book series: Applied Logic Series ((APLS,volume 20))

Abstract

The present study discusses the concept of context and implicitness using the example of verbal discriminations in private and public discourses. The investigation begins by distinguishing between explicit and implicit meaning. The central question of our research is whether explicit indicators for implicit meanings exist, and whether the relationship between explicitness and implicitness has methodological relevance. The ultimate goal of the investigation is to discover some clues which can assist us in pursuing qualitative and quantitative context analysis.
