Pragmatics is the study of how context influences the interpretation of meaning in language. It examines how speakers use language in real-life situations, focusing on the relationships between language, meaning, and the social context in which communication occurs. Pragmatics explores concepts such as speech acts, which are the actions performed through speaking, implicature, which refers to implied meanings, and deixis, which involves words that depend on context for their interpretation. This field helps to understand how meaning goes beyond the literal interpretation of words and how social factors shape communication.
