PRAGMATICS 1 Definitions and background Pragmatics: is concerned with the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a listener (or reader). It has more to do with what people mean by their utterances. It is the study of the speaker meaning. It also has to do with the meaning in a particular context and how the context influences what is said. Also the study of how more is communicated than is said.

The speaker who produces these kind of utterances‚ expects that the hearer will perform some kind of action‚ which he recognizes from the utterance (the Hearer recognizes the Speaker’s intentions). The Speaker and Hearer are helped by the context‚ by the so called speech events. Declarations and Declaratives are ritualistic utterances‚ which carry no information about the world outside the language‚ they refer only to themselves. (SAYING=DOING)

the speech-act model of utterance comprehension need to be rethought. In the second part of the paper‚ I will outline a different pragmatic approach to verbal understanding and present a preliminary application of this approach to the developmental data. Let me start with a brief reminder of the basic tenets of the speech-act approach. According to standard speech-act assumptions‚ understanding utterances is a matter of knowing the rules according to which the utterances have been produced. Rules

syntactical structure accompanies the real connotation of the word; whereas in pragmatics they study how the context of the conversation have influence on the real meaning of the utterance employed depending on the localization where the dialogue is occurring‚ whether the speaker is giving a background connotation to the utterance or the relationship between the participants of the conversation among other things.

These utterances might be in the form of long sentences or short sentences. The meaning of each utterance depends on listener’s interpretation. One speaker may utter something‚ but the two listeners may have different interpretations related to such utterance.

translation is the quandary of detection the differences in utterances‚ including figurative devices such as irony‚ satire‚ implicature‚ or word play. Speech acts by Austin (1962)‚ Searle (1969)‚ and Grice (1975) are considered a kind of pragmatic meaning to clarify the ambiguity of meaning of a sentence within its context. Speech act theory must reckon with the fact that the relationship between the words being used and the force of their utterance is often oblique (Back‚ 18). Indeed‚ Austin’s How to
