Within language sciences, the gradual recession of objectivism was marked by the growing use of the concept of context, especially in semantics and pragmatics. This concept has a challenging effect, marks on one hand the breaking with the positivist principle of compositionality, and introduces also the question of situation. The context problem allows to distinguish the logical-grammatical tradition, centered on sign, from the rhetorical-hermeneutical tradition, founded on text.
