LOZADA, Flora. Critical analysis of the notion of context and meaning: its contribution to the study of cultural phenomena of folkloric quality. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2002, n.18, pp.265-273. ISSN 1668-8104.

For some time the word context is a problematic term in social sciences for the young researchers who want to use it. Maybe one of the reasons the fact that the word is part of the language of an intellectual and medium sector where it reached a great repercussion and spreading. Then, it is necessary, in any scientific work to be clear about what kind of context is being treated in each case. As the theme has been discussed by many specialists in different articles now we propose to attempt a revision about the different forms of context, just like they have been treated by the Folk discipline since the term appeared in the theoretical scene. I attempts a synthesis view of its contribution to the study of cultural phenomenon of folk quality studies. This article coincides with the position of the Relevance Theory which supports the thesis that says it is the enunciation the one that construct the context. That allows to carry out a proposition to recover the meaning of narrative material (as well as other from any nature) as well as the different contexts through verbal material in situation of interview.

Keywords : Context; Sygnification; Folklore.
