Your description of context based language is probably the best I've heard
Thank you kindly.
Putting it in those terms is a recent idea of mine which I want to pursue more....
I remember a class where I was trying to get Polish students to develop a sense of language.... preferences. They were supposed to find short texts in Polish that they thought were well written or badly written and figure out what they liked or disliked.... it was a failure as only one student could get past "I don't think that sentence is correct"...
If I'd had a _lot_ more time I might have made progress but there were too many other things to cover.....
Did you study Applied Linguistics?
Short version... not in the Polish sense of 'study' (be enrolled in a degree granting program focused on that subject) but in the American sense... yes. I've had classes in applied linguistics, language policy, bilingual education etc and also have some background in examining comparative culture (in the socio-anthropological sense) and translation (my approach is always context sensitive, not rule based).
