The course explained by power point and I don't get it yet. Just gonna share what I have written from it.

- Pragmatics is concerned with the study of meaning as communication by a speaker (or writer) and interpreted by a listener (or reader).
- Pragmatics is the study of contextual meaning
- Pragmatics is the study of how move gets communicated than is said.
- Pragmatics is the study of the expression of relative distance

SPEAKING can be defined as
Setting
Participant
End
Act
Key
Instrument
Norms
Genre

The interesting part of the course is when the lecturer told the class how the way we speak and the diction we choose explain everything we think, even its inside my mind. Nobody can lies to someone who expert in Pragmatics ;p
