Pragmata

Pragmata is the neuter plural form of the Greek noun pragma (plural pragmata), meaning deed, act, matter, or affair. In classical Greek, pragmata referred to things done or matters under consideration, while the singular pragma denotes an act or deed. The term serves as the linguistic root of English words such as pragmatic and pragmatism, which emphasize practical application over theory.

In linguistic and philological contexts, pragmata is encountered when discussing Greek vocabulary or when rendering phrases that refer to “things” or “matters” in philosophical or ethical texts. The plural form is less common in everyday English than the related singular pragma, but it appears in scholarly work on Greek language and in translations of classical authors.

Pragmata is also the title of a Capcom video game announced in 2021. Described as a science fiction action-adventure, the game is set in a near-future Earth with hybrid lunar environments and enigmatic imagery. As of 2024, Capcom had not announced a release date for Pragmata.
