Apllication of Word Meaning and Context to Teaching Vocabulary

This paper contributes to an understanding of word meaning, context, their close relationship and its application to language teaching. There are six main types of word meaning ( grammatical, denotative, connotative, stylistic, affective and reflected meaning ) and tow types of context ( linguistic and non-linguistic context ). Context has great influence on word meaning. Therefore, in my view, the teachers should use their close relationship to develop students' ability to infer word meaning from context, which would be helpful to the students' foreign language learning.
