Abstract
Do we really need yet another word for context?? What?s new about chronotopes?? This paper explains how the notion of chronotope provides a critical check of the validity and analytical power of the term ?context?, allowing us to observe superficial and inadequate ways in which that older term is often used, and to suggest more precise understandings of it.
