Pragmatic
Pragmatics, In linguistics and philosophy, the
study of the use of natural language in
communication; more generally, the study of the
relations between languages and their users. It is
sometimes defined in contrast with linguistic
semantics, which can be described as the study of
the rule systems that determine the literal
meanings of linguistic expressions.
Pragmatics is then the study of how both literal and
nonliteral aspects of communicated linguistic meaning are
determined by principles that refer to the physical or social
context (broadly construed) in which language is used.
