Context Text Model
This model of language approaches language as a complete meaning-making system, the parts of which function in relational ways. It is based on the work of Michael Halliday.
The model contends that language can only be understood in context – the setting, the participants, the gestures and so on are all part of the context and influence the use and interpretation of language.
This diagram represents the notion that a text always occurs inside two broad contexts - a given social context, which occurs within a particular cultural context.
