Summary

Introduction

Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning as communicated by a speaker and interpreted by a listener. This has more to do with the analysis of people’s utterance meaning than what the words or phrases in those utterances might mean by themselves. According to Yule (1996: 3), pragmatics is the study of speaker’s meaning. When the speakers deliver their utterances, the listeners are expected to understand what the actual meaning of the speaker. One of the aims of pragmatic study is to know how competent language users are able to derive the form of linguistics which is an utterance and the context of situation. It is related to how conversation can be as effective as needed
