Pragmatics, Pragmatic concepts, Classical pragmatics, Contemporary pragmaticsAbstract
The purpose of this work is to present general aspects of the development of pragmatics, from their origins and strictly theoretical discussions, with regard to pragmatics and their strands. In fact, such discipline may be characterized in many ways, especially as a subarea of Pure Linguistics, or as an instrumental approach, in which contexts are identified for the various situations of language usage. Given this complexity that involves pragmatics, it seems fair to the pretension of our work when being focused on the fundamental, basic concepts and typical debates. This goes in the direction of familiarizing and allowing to understand the motivating issues of research that surround a multitude of relevant problems in the area.
