Other uses of the term?

I've seen other uses of the term "context collapse" which are similar but different in their implications, for example the use of a term that has a specific meaning in one discipline being used out of context in casual speech. For example, https://beesbuzz.biz/blog/3449-The-Dangers-of-Context-Collapse discusses a few different forms of it, such as signals that are valid in one context being used in an invalid way in another context, or phrases like "African-American" taken literally when describing a white person of South African citizenship as a confusing rhetorical device.

Should this differing usage be captured in this article, or is there a better phrase that this should be disambiguated to? Fluffycritter (talk) 20:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
