Pragmaluistics

Pragmaluistics is a term that combines the words "pragmatics" and "linguistics" to describe the study of how language is used in context to convey meaning beyond the literal words. It focuses on the ways in which language users interpret and produce utterances, taking into account the social, cultural, and situational factors that influence communication. Pragmaluistics examines how speakers and listeners make sense of language in real-world interactions, considering elements such as implicature, conversational implicature, and speech acts. This field of study is crucial for understanding how language functions in everyday communication and how it can be used to achieve various communicative goals. Pragmaluistics draws on principles from both linguistics and pragmatics, providing insights into the dynamic and interactive nature of language use.
