PRAGMATICS

It is the study of the meaning's elements and language usage of the speaker.


What do you say?
-According to Bucley, Language can be classified into five different levels  
  • Phonology  (how to pronounce and distinguish different consonants and vowels)
  • Morphology (knowledge about grammatical rules such as subject-word agreement, root, and affixes and suffixes)
  • Semantics (vocabulary knowledge)
  • Syntactic (sentence structure)
  • Pragmatics (how to use language appropriately under different social contexts). 

It's important to say that when we are using words between a context, we should be able to recognize what is well said or bad said. Therefore we know that culture, rules and traditions make part of the context. For example in culture from Middle East women have to use a good language and also they should respect asian tradition. But if they are in other country from the occident, asian should respect the rules and traditions from there, also if they use words and expressions against women could sound chauvinist.
