Constructing Contexts In constructing the meaning of these realworld contexts, people envision social situations as representative of certain types of activities (Gumperz, 1992; Tannen, 1993). They conceive of certain events-class discussions, business meetings, ceremonies, celebrations, or trips-as competitive, provincial, exotic, spiritual, or corrupt, and these conceptions then guide their behaviors and expectations in these worlds. A dinner with a lover in a fancy restaurant is romantic, a meeting of international scholars is cosmopolitan, a soccer game is competitive. Participants in these contexts associate certain types of social practices with being in a certain world. According to Schein (1985), these practices include
Class (philosophy · Epistemology · Meaning (existential · Media studies · Romance · Social science · Social worlds · Sociology · TRIPS architecture · Discourse Analysis in Language Studies · Linguistic research and analysis · Media Studies and Communication · Psychology · Social Psychology
