ge systems, geographical factors, social backgrounds and culture differences etc. 3.2. Classifications of context Traditionally, people classify context in different perspectives. Some just simply classify it as linguistic context or non-linguistic context. Linguistic context is always relevant to the phonology, lexicology, grammar, semantics, pragmatics, rhetoric, logic, discourses etc. And non-linguistic context always consists of social environment (including culture, customs, social background, etc) and natural environment (including time, place, audience, etc). Linguists Duranti and Goodwin suggest that context consists of text, situation, behavior environment, and immediate background knowledge. Text refers to phrase context, sentence context and discourse context that are closely related to linguistic factors. Situation refers to “space and framework of language communication”, which is also called situational context. Utterance features refer to the code of communicators. [12] In bi-linguistic and multi-linguistic society, people intentionally transfer language codes to achieve their purpose of communication. Gumperz gives utterance features another name, which is conceptualization cues, including stress, intonation, rhythm, smile, habitual expressions and so on. Behavior environment refers to the gestures and body languages that communicators use to express their meanings and feelings. Immediate background knowledge refers to encyclopedic knowledge, accidents and the usage of background knowledge. [13] On the basis of precious classification, Chen Zhi’ang and Wenxu made a good conclusion. They classified context as follows: ① broad-sensed context and narrow-sensed context ② situation context and text ③ objective context and subjective context ④implicit context and explicit context ⑤actual context and invented context ⑥ verbal context and non-verbal context. [14] In a broad sense, context refers to the whole natural, social and cultural background that relevant to communication, and it is the “big context”; in a narrow sense, context is the “small context” which refers to linguistic context, including words, sentences, paragraphs, discourses and grammars. Situation context means real situation that linguistic activities happen in, including communicators, time, place, topic, medium, the formality of communication and so on. Subjective context refers to communicators’ subjective factors, such as personality, interest, feeling and mood; objective context refers to the objective existence in the objective world, which is made of the place and time of communication, and various complicated social and cultural environment. Explicit context is the linguistic and non-linguistic environment that obviously shows in the communication, including time, place, audience style etc; implicit context is the hidden meaning and encyclopedic knowledge that is related to but hidden from the real situation. Actual context is the real environment of communication, while invented context is the fabricated environment that always appears in fictions and poems. Verbal context is the context that expresses in language, and non-verbal context always refers to gestures and body languages. From the above classifications, one can easily find that different classifications have many similarities and overlaps. Both of these classifications are reasonable in some aspects, but imperfect in some other aspects, so we cannot say which one is better than anothe
