context
The overall connection in which something appears, whether a statement, an event, or an action. Context is necessary in order to understand the full meaning or the circumstances.
Dieses Zitat wurde völlig aus dem Kontext gerissen und ergibt so einen falschen Sinn.
This quote was taken completely out of context and therefore gives a false meaning.
'Kontext' (context) comes from the Latin 'contextus', meaning 'connection' or 'that which is woven together'. The prefix 'kon-' means 'together'. This origin helps you understand the meaning as 'Gesamtzusammenhang' (overall context).
Um den Text zu verstehen, muss man den historischen Kontext kennen.
To understand the text, you have to know the historical context.
The word 'Kontext' (context) is used very frequently with the prepositions 'in' and 'aus'. You say 'in diesem Kontext' (in this context) or 'aus dem Kontext' (out of context).
In diesem Kontext ist deine Frage sehr wichtig.
In this context, your question is very important.
Common expressions are 'etwas in den richtigen Kontext setzen' (to put something in the right context) or 'im historischen/sozialen/kulturellen Kontext betrachten' (to look at something in its historical/social/cultural context). The phrase 'aus dem Kontext reißen' (to take out of context) is especially widespread.
Man muss seine Aussagen im politischen Kontext der Zeit sehen.
One has to see his statements in the political context of the time.
frame
'der Rahmen' and 'der Kontext' can both mean the surroundings of a statement, action, or situation. 'Kontext' is used especially when you want to understand something correctly: a statement, an event, or a decision. 'Rahmen' places more emphasis on the external conditions, scope, or organized area in which something takes place. The words can be confused because both sound like 'surroundings'. When it is about understanding and meaning, 'Kontext' is usually more precise. When it is about conditions, process, or limits, 'Rahmen' fits better.
Der Satz ist nur verständlich, wenn man den politischen Kontext kennt.
