Pragmatikoje

Pragmatikoje is the locative form of the Lithuanian term pragmatika, used to denote the domain of pragmatics in linguistic discourse. In scholarly writing the phrase functions to indicate discussions that take place within pragmatics, the study of language use in context.

The field of pragmatikoje encompasses how utterances convey meaning beyond their literal content, including topics such as speech acts, deixis, implicature, presupposition, relevance, conversational implicature, and politeness. It also examines how context, speaker intention, and social interaction shape interpretation, and how pragmatic meaning interacts with semantics, syntax, and discourse structure. Researchers in pragmatikoje may draw on theories from pragmatics, including relevance theory, cooperative principle, and discourse analysis, to explain how language functions in real communication.

Usage in Lithuanian texts typically situates findings and discussions within pragmatikoje to specify the contextual frame of analysis. For example, one might say: "Pragmatikoje nagrinėjama, kaip kontekstas ir umanjių intencijų derinys formuoja prasmę." Another example: "Šio tyrimo klausimai prisideda prie žinių apie kalbos vartojimo taisykles pragmatikoje." The term is primarily used in academic writing and educational materials related to linguistics and second language studies.

See also: pragmatics, semantics, speech act theory, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics. Pragmatikoje as a field emphasizes practical interpretation of language in real communication and its social dimensions.
