SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS
It is important to understand the differences between semantics and pragmatics, so this helps us better understand linguistics.
However, both are part of linguistics and are related to the meaning of words, but their usage is drastically different.
PRAGMATICS
-
In every conversation there is a context, so listeners can define the ultimate meaning of words because they can implicitly vary the meaning.
-
-
SEMANTICS
-
-
-
Semantics refers only to the meaning of grammar and vocabulary. It does not look for any implicit meaning.
In this sense, there is a focus on the general rules oF language usage.
It is important to take pragmatics and semantics into account when we carry out the communicative act. Because sometimes we need to understand sentences literally and other times subjectively.
