Pragmatics

the study of language in use,the intended meaning by the speaker of writer

Comparison between pragmatics and semantics:contextual or literal meaning;contextualized or decontextualized.eg I'm tired.semantically it means your state.pramatically,it can be a complaint or ask for permission to take a holiday.

Context:common sense or knowledge shared by the speaker and the hearer.

Sentence meaning (abstract and literal)and utterance meaning(concrete and context-dependent).eg,it's cold here.In different context,it's a different utterance.The latter is based on the former and the realization of the former.somes utterances are not sentences.egMy bag is being heavy.

Pretication analysis

SA theory by John Austin.

sth done by utterances,which fall into two types(constatives and perfomative)

The former can be judged true or false.

SPs:locutionary,illocutionary and perlocutionary acts.

Searle's classification:assertives(representative),directives(get sth done),commissives,expressives,declarations(bring about immediate change in the existing affair.)

CP by Grice:maxim of quantity,quality,manner and relevance.

Voilation or flouting leads to CI.Both are aware of the voilation.otherwise misunderstanding arouses.
