Frame vs Kontext

context

Kontext and Frame can both influence how a statement is understood. Kontext includes the surrounding circumstances, while a Frame suggests a particular way of interpreting something. When describing the overall context, one says „Kontext“; when referring to a guided perspective, „Frame“ is more precise.
