Tarnation... This is saving my skin, girls. I have a test on pragmatics and discourse in a few days and obviously, you explain it much better than the teacher in class. Thanks a bunch!
1:26 progmatics ,george yule 1:42 study of speaker meaning 2:03 study of contextual meaning 3:14 how more get communicated than is said 3:58 study of the expression of the relative distance
I can't watch this because only one speaker's lips move. They're moving constantly, and don't match the pace of the words being uttered. They're moving when the other speaker's voice is being heard. It's very confusing
"But I have only got five minutes to explain" Well thank goodness you didn't waste the first 10% of the video setting up an unnecessary framing device that will do nothing except distract from the actual content of the video...
Pragmatic (as an adjective) describes an individual that is more or less "practical". They are realistic instead of idealistic. They see things as they ARE and not so much imagining how they COULD be. Pragmatics (as a noun) describes the field of linguistics where the context in which an utterance is made has a direct effect on the meaning/message the speaker wants to convey. They're similar in the sense that both involve real-world, tangible circumstances.
