Abstract
At the heart of natural language processing is the understanding of co ntext dependent meanings. This paper presents a preliminary model of f ormal contexts based on situation theory. It also gives a worked-out e xample to show the use of contexts in lifting, i.e., how propositions holding in a particular context transform when they are moved to anoth er context. This is useful in NLP applications where preserving meanin g is a desideratum.
