Others are psychological and situational aspects. It will be difficult to get the intention of the writer right, based on levels of content analysis of the language, without considering the situational context of both the speaker and his or her target(s). To this end, the linguistic aspects mentioned above, has to do with discourse under the study of Semantics, while non-linguistic aspects come under the Arabic rhetoric, the two emphasized the relationship between the Semantics and its branches and rhetoric and its branches.
