  Context is the superfluous information provided by the author to situate you before they deliver their argument. Contextual information is background information or another persons argument the author is providing to us in order to situate or frame their argument. In other words, the context is the 'extra' information provided in addition to the authors argument.

  Premise indicators are the series words whose role in the English language is to indicate supporting structure. When we see the premise indicator we should be looking right before it or right after it for a premise of the argument.

  Premise Indicators which are usually followed by the premise(s):
  1. given that
  2. seeing that
  3. for the reason that
  4. owing to
  5. as indicated by
  6. after all
  7. on the grounds that

  Premise Indicators which are usually followed by the premise(s), but also contain the conclusion in the same sentence:
  1. for
  2. since
  3. because>

  Hi,

  What is the difference between premise indicator vs. context? The way I understood was that context are just additional info to lead up to the premise.
