The Role of the Situational Context in Expanding the Semantics: Al-Sabah Newspaper as a Model

This research focuses on addressing the idea of situational context and its impact on the direction and broadening of semantics, applying it to news texts from the Iraqi newspaper Al-Sabah. Various examples are mentioned to illustrate the effect of context on the meaning of the text. Prior to that, there was an exploration of the concept of context, both in Arabic and Western linguistic contexts, as well as the concept of situational context linguistically and terminologically. The study also highlights the key elements of situational context and the importance of context in directing and broadening semantics. The research concludes with the most significant findings.
