together with its programmatically determined link context really is the operative phrase in this quote. I would encourage you to actually read the examples on the page you link to - several of them announce just one or two words.

OP's comment addressed that:

The problem here is that the screen reader will just read the link text and not the contract around it.

I would encourage you to read OP's comment first?

I'm not sure what you mean now. Did you intend your quote from the WCAG to support OP's point, or to indicate that the screen reader has a bug?
