- "In linguistics and related fields, pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning."
The study of language use in context.
Introduction to Pragmatics: This topic provides an overview of what Pragmatics is, its historical background, and its relevance in Translation Studies.
Speech Acts: This topic covers the different types of speech acts and their interpretation in different contexts. It also explains how speech acts relate to translation.
Context: This topic explains the importance of context in Pragmatics and its role in determining the interpretation of language.
Implicature: This topic covers the concept of implicature and its relevance in Translation Studies. It explains how translation can affect implicature.
Politeness: This topic covers politeness theory, its relevance in cross-cultural interactions, and its impact on translation.
Discourse Analysis: This topic focuses on the analysis of larger units of language such as conversations, texts, and narratives. It also explains how discourse analysis can be applied to translation.
Cooperative Principle: This topic covers the Cooperative Principle, Grice's Maxims, and their importance in Pragmatics and Translation Studies.
Deixis: This topic covers the use of deixis and its interpretation in different contexts. It also explains how translation can affect the interpretation of deixis.
Speech Acts in Translation: This topic focuses on the challenges of translating speech acts and provides strategies for overcoming them.
Translation Quality Assessment: This topic covers different methods of assessing the quality of translated texts from a Pragmatics perspective. It also explains how Pragmatics can help in improving the quality of translations.
Conversational Implicature: This field of pragmatics examines the meaning that is created by the speaker and the listener during a conversation.
Speech Acts: This area focuses on the study of utterances that perform actions, such as promising, apologizing or requesting.
Politeness Theory: It examines how speakers use language to show politeness and respect to the listeners.
Relevance Theory: This field investigates how speakers use language to create relevance in their communication.
Pragmatic Markers: It to study how particles such as "well," "now," or "but" change the meaning of a sentence.
Discourse Analysis: This area of study investigates how language is used in larger texts and discourse.
Cognitive Pragmatics: It is a relatively new field, which studies the relationship between the human brain and language use.
Contrastive Pragmatics: It is the study of how languages differ in their use of pragmatic markers and speech acts.
Multimodal Pragmatics: It investigates how meaning is conveyed through different modes, such as speech, gesture, or images.
Intercultural Pragmatics: This field focuses on how language use varies across different cultures and societies, and how this affects communication.
- "The field of study evaluates how human language is utilized in social interactions, as well as the relationship between the interpreter and the interpreted."
- "Linguists who specialize in pragmatics are called pragmaticians."
- "The field has been represented since 1986 by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA)."
- "Pragmatics encompasses phenomena including implicature, speech acts, relevance and conversation, as well as nonverbal communication."
- "Theories of pragmatics go hand-in-hand with theories of semantics, which studies aspects of meaning, and syntax which examines sentence structures, principles, and relationships."
- "The ability to understand another speaker's intended meaning is called pragmatic competence."
- "Pragmatics emerged as its own subfield in the 1950s after the pioneering work of J.L. Austin and Paul Grice."
