Pragmatics is the study of language which is part of the field of linguistics.

Pragmatics has the

function of interpreting the meaning of a sentence. Sometimes, some sentences have a different
meaning than what is stated. These sentences can be said in everyday communication or an idiom.
Therefore, pragmatics helps to interpret complex utterances.

In daily life, people use pragmatics in communication. However, not many people know about this
study. For example, if someone says "It's very hot here" it could mean that he wants to find a cooler
place or needs cooling. They do not explicitly state this requirement but the context and our
understanding of social norms. This example includes the pragmatics of implication.

Furthermore, pragmatics also helps in interpreting sentences that are difficult to understand, such as
idioms. For example, "Go the extra mile" The real meaning of this sentence is to make an extra effort,
it doesn't mean we have to run a long mile. Another example is "Butterflies in my stomach" which
means someone is nervous. Not that there were actual butterflies in his stomach. This type of
pragmatics is a metaphor, a sentence that has a figurative meaning and is not actually what is said.

Pragmatics also involves understanding what is not being said. Silence can communicate a lot
depending on the context. For example, if in a meeting someone proposes an idea and there is a long
pause, this silence could indicate disagreement, discomfort, surprise, or a need for further reflection,
depending on specific group dynamics and norms (Levinson, 2000; Levinson, 2013).

In conclusion, Pragmatics is a “media” for understanding someone's speech from a more specific
perspective, so that people can clearly understand each other and create appropriate
communication. Pragmatics, which focuses on context, can lead someone to pronounce words
according to the meaning conveyed by the speaker. Besides, people can also be understood through
their actions in detail, not just through the statements they express.
