Context
I badly need examples of second-degree context, but I can't find it anywhere. Probably you are able to help me? Thanks beforehand

Re: Context
Sometimes, however, such a
minimum context fails to reveal the meaning of the word, and it may be
correctly interpreted only through a second-degree context as in the
following example: “The man was large, but his wife was even fatter”. The
word “fatter” here serves as a kind of indicator pointing that “large”
describes a stout man and not a big one.

Re: Context
Thank a lot, but I've read "English Lexicology" by Antrushina, Afanas'eva and Morozova, and as far as I see you've read it either. And, moreover, Afanas'eva gives us lectures this term)

Re: Context
It's not a term I've seen- if you google it, most of the references are Russian.
