Some good thinking this!
I suppose the point of all this is that context gives language meaning. Which is all very well if you’re building a house, buying some cabbages, throwing a party etc. But what about when you “speak” into a search box. Where do you get your context from then? Do you have to play around with clever search modifiers so the interface understands that when you search Google Images for “bondage” you’re looking for pictures of serfs?
