PRAGMATICS
1. Definition
Pragmatics is the study of aspects of the use of meaning and language that depend on the speaker, receiver and other features of the speech context, as follows. Look pragmatically the meaning of words and grammar used semantically, except in context. In each situation, the various listeners in the conversation determine the most meaningful of words, based on other clues that will lend a subtext of meaning.
Linguistic studies that study the contextual meaning behind an utterance or the meaning created when an utterance is uttered. Pragmatics not only studies the meanings attached to morphemes, words, phrases or sentences used. But it also studies the context when an utterance is spoken. Pragmatics pays attention to the time, place, who is speaking, and to whom the utterance is addressed.
2. Pragmatic Understanding According to Experts
Crystal (1987: 120). states pragmatics studies the factors that govern our choice of language in social interaction and the effect of our choice on others. In theory, we can say anything we like. In practice, we follow a large number of social rules (most of them unconsciously) that constrain the way we speak.
Levinson (1983: 7). states the study of language from a functional perspective, that is, that it attempts to explain facets of linguistic structure by reference to non-linguistic pressures and causes.
According to Verhaar (1996: 14), pragmatics is a branch of linguistics that discusses what is included in the structure of language as a means of communication between speakers and listeners, and as a reference to language signs in "extralingual" matters being discussed.
Morris (1960). said that pragmatic is a discipline that studies the use of signs, which can specifically be interpreted as the way people use language signs and the way language signs are interpreted. what is meant by people according to the definition is the user of the sign itself, namely the speaker.
Yule (1996: 3). mentions four pragmatic definitions, namely:
(1) Fields that study the meaning of speakers;
(2) Areas that study meaning according to context;
(3) The field that exceeds the study of the meaning being said, examines the meaning that is communicated or communicated by the speaker; and
(4) The field which examines the form of expression according to social distance that limits the participant involved in a particular conversation.
Wijana (1996: 2). said that semantics and pragmatics are branches of linguistics that examine the meanings of lingual units, only that semantics study meaning internally, whereas pragmatics studies meaning externally.
Pragmatics are defined as conditions that result in the harmonious use of language in communication; aspects of language use or context outside the language that contribute to the meaning of utterance (Kridalaksana, 1993: 177).
Purwo (1990: 16) defines pragmatics as a study of the meaning of utterance using context bound meanings. Whereas treating language pragmatically is treating language by considering its context, that is, its use in communication events (Purwo, 1990: 31).
3. Example of Pragmatics
Consider the sentence below:
"I just met an old Irishman and his son, coming out of the toilet."
"I wouldn't think there is room for both of them."
‘Not silly, I mean I came out of the toilet. They are waiting. "
In the following sentence, B answers question A with at least three possible ways to state "not yet" or "don't want to eat".
A: did you eat this afternoon?
B (1): I haven't eaten yet. But I do not want to eat.
B (2): I had just eaten. (lie)
B (2): I'm still full, really.
To say its meaning, B can at least say with three utterances: B (1) directly states its purpose and reason; B (2) by lying, he implies that he does not want to eat; B (3) for reasons of politeness, and indirectly also, implies he does not want to eat. To answer question A, although it also cannot explain very precisely, semantics can only analyze the meaning clearly in sentence B (1) because the sentence directly answers question A, but semantics cannot explain precisely the meaning of B (2) and B (3) because B answers it indirectly so that it requires an understanding of the situation around him.
4. Pragmatics type:
Pragmalinguistic
Pragmalinguistics is a study of the general conditions of communicative use of language. Pragmalinguistics can be applied to pragmatic studies aimed at leading to linguistic goals, where we consider the special resources provided by a language to convey certain illocutions. Illocution is a way of doing something in saying something.
Pragmalinguistics has a close relationship with grammar.
Sociopragmatic
Sociopragmatik is a study of local conditions or local conditions more specifically about the use of language. In the local community it is more specifically seen that the principle of cooperation and the principle of politeness take place in a changing manner in different cultures, in different social situations, between different social classes. In other words, sociopragmatic is a pragmatic sociological boundary. So it is clear how heavy the relationship between sociopragmatics and
sociology.
5. Pragmatics Characteristics:
Pragmatics is the study of the relationship between signs (symbols) and their interpreters
Pragmatics is the study of language use
Pragmatics is the study of the relationship between language and context that forms the basis of explanations of language understanding.
Pragmatics is the study of deixis, implicatures, presuppositions, speech acts, and aspects of the structure of discourse.
Pragmatics is the study of how language is used to communicate, especially the relationship between sentences and the context and situation of their use.
Pragmatics is the study of language and functional perspectives, meaning that this study tries to explain aspects of linguistic structure by referring to nonlinguistic influences and causes.
6. Correlation With The Mr. Budianto Lesson
Pragmatics is the study of language or the study of language. Pragmatic meaning is the meaning or speech and language used in the external. study of aspects of the use of meaning and language that depend on the speaker. But it also studies the context when an utterance is spoken. Pragmatics pays attention to the time, place, who is speaking, and to whom the utterance is addressed.
7. Conclusion
From the above understanding pragmatics is linguistics that studies the use of language associated with the context of its use. then the language can be understood if the context is known. Pragmatic boundaries are the rules of language use regarding forms and meanings associated with the speaker's intentions, context, and circumstances.

Hello Eva. I'd like to know. You said that the language can be understood if the context is known. Could you explain what context is known easily by people? Thank you.
BalasHapushey ka sikin, i'll try to help answer your question. so, context is the part of a description or sentence that can support
Hapusor add clarity to the meaning of a situation that has something to do with it
the incident. While Purwo (2001: 4) explains the context is the main foothold
in pragmatic analysis. This context includes speakers and speakers, places,
time, and everything involved in the utterance.
Preston (in Supardo, 2000: 46) explains that context as
all information surrounding the language user including usage
the language around it. Thus, things like situation, distance
places can be contexts for language use.
9
This emphasizes the importance of context in language, which can determine
the meaning and purpose of an utterance.
Supardo (2000: 46) divides context into linguistic contexts
and non-linguistic contexts. Language context in the form of elements that
form the structure of birth, namely sounds, words, sentences, and utterances or texts.
Non-language context is a context that does not belong to the linguistic element.
In contrast to the experts above, Hymes (via Sudaryat, 2009: 146-150)
describes the context into the first eight types of settings (setting, time, place)
i.e. refers to place (space) and time or tempo (rhythm)
conversation. Both participants (participant ant) refer to the participant
conversation, namely the speaker and listener. The three results (ends) refer to
the results of the conversation and the purpose of the conversation. The four messages refer to
on the form and content of the mandate. The fifth way (key), refers to the spirit
carry out a conversation. The six means (instruments), channels (channels) refer
on whether the use of language is carried out verbally or in writing and refers
also in the variety of languages used. The seven norms refer to behavior
conversation participant. The eight types or genres refer to categories
form and variety of languages.
Context can be people or objects, places, times, languages, tools,
and action. The context of people is who is talking and with
who he is talking to. The context of the place is where the utterance is
10
spoken, what is the condition of the community and the norms that exist in
the community.
Context in the form of time is when the utterance is spoken and deep
what situation. The context in the form of language is the language that precedes
the speech event. The context in the form of action is the entire assortment
in the form of elements outside the language.
and from all the explanations above, I conclude that perhaps the context in pragmatics that is easy to understand is the context of language (linguistics). Why? because in the context of this language has elements that make up the structure of birth, namely sound, words, sentences, and speech or text. so, with the sound, words, sentences and utterances we can understand the meaning of the language.

thank you, sorry if my answer is not right.
well done Niki, you give me a very good answer by giving explanation from experts and I hope you can answer on blog like this one. short and complete. thank you again.
HapusTq sikin, cause u question I know why context is known easily by people
HapusTq niki because ur answer I get the information again
HapusHi Yola! Thanks for your compliment. I would like to know also your understanding about this topic. As you said that you get the information from my question and from Niki's answer. I am waiting for your answer.
HapusHello eva...
BalasHapuscan you explain how to distinguish pragmatic sentences from semantics in the context of writing?
Hello Mesin! I want to help Eva by answering your question.
HapusThe way to distinguish pragmatics sentences from semantics in the context of writing is the same in the context of utterances/speaking. You can see from the words in the sentence. If the sentence use connotation, it means that is pragmatics sentence. For example:
She hasn’t taken a shower.
He was so tired he could sleep for days.
In both of these examples, the context and pragmatic meaning really define the sentence.
In the first, did the speaker really mean to say that the woman has not ever taken a shower, not even once? Although the sentence says just that, the listener in the conversation may understand, based on other factors, that the speaker means that the woman they are referring to has not taken a shower … today.
In the second example, we have a guy who is so tired he can sleep for days. Is he really going to sleep for days? Semantically, we would need to take that sentence to mean exactly that. But, in casual conversation, the listeners and speaker might tell you that the guy was just saying he was really, really tired, and using those words to convey that meaning, instead of saying, ‘he was really tired.
Niki and meysin so very goods knowlegde
HapusHi Yola! What do you mean by goods knowledge? Please explain and why you stated it on this blog? I really hope you can answer my question soon. Thank you.
Hapushei kak eva,
BalasHapushow to distinguish pragmalinguistic and sociolinguistic? and maybe you can explain in more detail?
thank you
hi Niki! I will help Eva answer your question.
HapusPragmalinguistics" or the occupation with prag- matic aspects of language can be important where computational linguists or artificial intelligence re- searchers are concerned with natural language inter- faces to computers, with modelling dialogue behavior, or the like. What speakers intend with their utteranc- es, how hearers react to what they hear, and what they take the words to mean will all play a role of increas- ing importance when natural language systems have matured enough to cope readily with syntax and se- mantics. Asking a sensible question to a user or giving him a reasonable response often enough depends not only on the "pure" meaning of some previous utter- ances but also on attitudes, expectations, and inten- tions that the user may have. These are partly con- veyed in the user's utterances and have to be taken into account, if a system is to do more than just give factual answers to factual requests. Pragmalinguistics is a collection of articles dealing with many different things--some of the arti- cles could instead of being called pragmatic or prag- malinguistic be labelled sociolinguistic.
While sociolinguistics is the descriptive study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and society's effect on language. It differs from sociology of language, which focuses on the effect of language on society. Sociolinguistics overlaps considerably with pragmatics. It is closely related to linguistic anthropology; some question the distinction between the two fields, emphasizing their historical interrelation.
It also studies how language varieties differ between groups separated by certain social variables (e.g., ethnicity, religion, status, gender, level of education, age, etc.) and how creation and adherence to these rules is used to categorize individuals in social or socioeconomic classes. As the usage of a language varies from place to place, language usage also varies among social classes, and it is these sociolects that sociolinguistics studies.
ur statemant always long. I cannt understand

HapusHi yola! Actually you don't understand my answer because you don't really want to know what I explained. Do not make any statement without read the answer first. Thank you.
Hapushello kak, "Children's language development does not only occur in grammatical aspects of language but also in pragmatic aspects". can you explain about that statement?
BalasHapushi Maya! I will help Eva answer your question. "Children's language development does not only occur in grammatical aspects of language but also in pragmatic aspects" means that children also shoul know about the pragmatics meaning. because, when we talk to children, we can not directly tell what we want they to do. we should explain with a soft way. and the soft way is by using pragmatics meaning. Pragmatics is a subfield of linguistics and semiotics that studies the ways in which context contributes to meaning. Pragmatics encompasses speech act theory, conversational implicature, talk in interaction and other approaches to language behavior in philosophy, sociology, linguistics and anthropology.[1] Unlike semantics, which examines meaning that is conventional or "coded" in a given language, pragmatics studies how the transmission of meaning depends not only on structural and linguistic knowledge (grammar, lexicon, etc.) of the speaker and listener but also on the context of the utterance,[2] any pre-existing knowledge about those involved, the inferred intent of the speaker, and other factors.[3] In that respect, pragmatics explains how language users are able to overcome apparent ambiguity since meaning relies on the manner, place, time, etc. of an utterance.
HapusAnd again so long. I cannt get the conclude
HapusHello Yola! As I stated above. Please read the answer first and try to understand the meaning. You just say the statement because it is too long for you. Isn't it?
HapusAssalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh hiiiii !!!!!!! ☺☺☺😊😊☺Impressive！Thanks for the post✨✨✨✨✨🌻🌻🌸🌸🌸

HapusHello Eva! Your blog is not good enough. I think you should learn more how to be a good blogger. Keep spirit 💪💪💪
Hapushi Eva! i would like to congratulates on you. because you've made this blog with a good information. I also thanks because you give us more insight about your topic. I hope you will be able to add more topics on your blog. thank you.
BalasHapusI think about that
HapusI think that you just think without giving any conclusion about what are you thinking actually. Come on Yola. Make it a good comment on this blog. I know you can do it. Thank you.
Hapusi also want to give you a critic. because your blog doesn't have any pictures and it is not interesting at all. I am bored to see the same theme on your blog and the same way you explain your topics.
BalasHapusYrs thats right
HapusEveryone can see your comment is only about agreeing something and give a short suggestion. Do you have another thing to say Yol? Just change the way you convey your comment. Thank you.
Hapusyou can add more information about your material cause it's to short to make the reader know complete about pragmatic
BalasHapusHi Yusuf! I think Eva has made a good blog with explanations and examples by the experts. she stated also the reference that we can see to get more information about her topic. the references are:

HapusHi Yola! Do not only say to find the answer on internet. So, what does the function of this blog without any discussion that we make? Please add your answer according to experts and according to you.
HapusPlease answer my question, yola! You should answer as soon as possible. Because I have no time to wait for it. 🤔
HapusHello, is the definition of syntax all the same? From earlier I saw the other blogs the definition of syntax is just that, please let me know!
BalasHapus
