CLASSIFICATION OF PRAGMATIC MEANING IN CONTEXT
Keywords:
pragmatic meaning, imitative meaning, opposite meaning, broadened or narrowed meaning, distortional meaning, context.Abstract
The article deals with the classification of pragmatic meaning in a
certain context. In pragmatic meaning, words have meanings that go beyond their literal
meaning. This study examines imitative meaning, opposite meaning, broadened or
narrowed meaning, and distortional meaning as approaches to classifying pragmatic
meaning, also the impact of context on pragmatic meaning, as well as the obstacles and
limitations associated with defining such meaning. Through the investigation of examples
in everyday language, we can gain a deeper understanding of how pragmatic meaning is
constructed and interpreted across different contexts.
