Framework 2: Pragmatics
What is pragmatics?
shared knowledge between the text producer and receiver
Language and meaning rely on shared knowledge, contextual information, implication and inference
Context, implication and interference
this can be demonstrated by asking "what have you done?" in these sentences:
1) asking a friend about their homework
actually asking
2) confronting a sibling about moving you stuff
rhetorical question
relationship between context and implied meaning
3) your friend shows you an impressive change to their house
exclamation
4) your friend shows you some horrifying changes to their house
implying it looks bad
Grice's Maxims
Another way of explaining how implied meanings work
1) QUANTITY
Use an appropriate amount of detail
2) QUALITY
Speak the truth
3) RELEVENCE
Keep what is being discussed relevant to the topic
4) MANNER
Avoid vagueness and ambiguity
Deixis
Shared context: "i'm here now" means little when used out of context
Personal deixis- I, me, you
Spatial deixis- here, there, left, right
Temporal deixis- now, there, today, tomorrow
Dectic centre:
Distal- that, those, there, then
Proximal- this, there, here, now
