What is 프라그마틱슬롯 Pragmatic ?
A person who understands the pragmatics of speaking can effectively eschew an invitation to read between lines or even negotiate norms of turn-taking in a conversation. Pragmatics takes into account cultural, social and situational factors when using language.
Consider this scenario: The news report states that a stolen image was found "by an unidentified branch." Our knowledge of pragmatics can help us in determining the truth and improve our everyday communication.
Definition
The term "pragmatic" refers to people who are sensible and practical. People who are pragmatic are concerned with what is actually happening in the real world, and they don't get bogged down by idealistic theories that might not be applicable in reality.
The word pragmatic comes from the Latin praegere, meaning "to grasp hold of." Pragmatism is a philosophy that understands knowing the world as a unified entity with agency within it. It also sees knowledge as the result of experience and focuses on the way that knowledge is applied.
William James described pragmatism in 1907 as a new name for some old ways of thinking. His lecture series, "Pragmatism - A New Name for Old Ways of Thinkin'" was an attempt to address this. He began his lecture series by declaring a fundamental, and unsolvable conflict between two ways to think, the hard-minded empiricist commitment to experience and relying on facts, and the soft-minded predisposition to a priori principles that is akin to rationalization. He proclaimed that pragmatism would be able to bridge this gap.
He defined 'praxy' as a concept or truth that is rooted not in an idealized concept but in the actuality of our world. He believed that pragmatism was the most true and natural way of approaching human issues, and that all other philosophical theories were flawed in one way or another.
In the 1900s, many other philosophers also developed pragmatist perspectives such as George Herbert Mead, W.E.B Du Bois, and Alain Locke. They developed pragmatist views on the structure of education, science and public policy. John Dewey articulated pragmatist views in areas such as education and democracy, as well as public policy.
Today, pragmatism continues influencer in the design of curriculums, educational programs and other scientific and technological applications. There are also a variety of philosophical movements that are pragmatic, such as neopragmatism, classical pragmatism and other. There are also formal computational, theoretical, game-theoretical, clinical, experimental, and neuropragmatics. They also include intercultural and intralinguistic pragmatics.
Examples
Pragmatics is a branch of philosophy and the study of language that concentrates on the communicative intentions of speakers, the context in the context in which they are spoken and how listeners interpret and understand the intentions. Pragmatics is different from semantics because it focuses on meaning in a social or context sense, not the literal truth-conditional meaning. In this sense pragmatics is often referred to as a pragmatic theory. However, despite its focus of social meaning, it's also been criticised for not considering truth-conditional theories.
If someone decides to be pragmatic, they evaluate the situation realistically and determine the best course of action that is more likely to succeed. This is contrary to an idealistic perspective of how things should work. For instance, if you are trying to save wildlife, it is more likely to succeed if take a pragmatic approach and work out a deal with poachers instead of fighting the poachers in court.
Another practical example is when someone politely hedges a request or cleverly reads between lines to get what they want. This is the sort of thing that people are taught to do by practicing their social skills. Pragmatics also involves understanding what's not spoken. Silence can convey a lot, depending on the context.
A person who has difficulty with pragmatics might find it difficult to communicate effectively in social settings. This can result in problems at work, at school as well as in other activities. For example, an individual who is struggling with pragmatics could be unable to greet others in a proper manner when introducing themselves and sharing personal information or excessively sharing, navigating turn-taking rules in conversation as well as making jokes and making jokes, or comprehending the implicit language.
Teachers and parents can help children to develop their pragmatism through modeling social behaviors and engaging them in role-playing activities that simulate different social situations and offering constructive feedback on their communication efforts. They can also use stories about social interactions to show what the proper response is in a given situation. These examples are automatically selected and could contain sensitive information.
Origins
The term pragmatic was first coined in the United States around 1870. It became popular with American philosophers as well as the general public due to its close connection to the modern sciences of natural and social. At the time, it was considered as a philosophical counterpart to the scientific worldview. It was widely considered to be capable of bringing similar advances in research into issues such as morality and the significance of life.
William James (1842 to 1910) is believed to be the first to using the term pragmatic in print. He is credited as both the father of modern psychological theory and the founder of pragmatic. He is also believed to be the first person to formulate a theory based on empirical evidence. In his book "The Present Dilemma in Philosophy', published in 1907, the author outlined a fundamental conflict in philosophy. The dichotomy that he describes is the conflict between two approaches to thinking - one that relies on an empiricist belief in experiences and relying on 'the facts', and the other, which is based on a priori principles which appeal to ratiocination. He predicted that pragmatism would provide a bridge between these competing ways of thinking.
For James the truth is only when it operates. His metaphysics is open to the possibility that there are beyond the realm of our comprehension. He also acknowledges that pragmatism does not necessarily reject religion and that religious beliefs may be valid for those who believe them.
John Dewey (1859-1952) was a key figure in the pragmatists of classical times. He is well-known for his wide-ranging contributions to various areas of philosophical inquiry such as social theory, ethics, philosophy of education, law aesthetics, and the philosophy of religion. In the latter years of his life, he began to see pragmatism as a philosophy of democracy.
Recent pragmatists have created new areas of study such as computational pragmatism (the study of computer systems that use context to better understand their users' intentions) Game-theoretic and neuropragmatics and experimental pragmatics. These areas of pragmatics assist to develop a more accurate understanding of how language and information is utilized.
Usage
A pragmatic person is one who considers the real-world, practical conditions when making decisions. A pragmatic approach to the situation is a good method to accomplish a task. This is a key concept in communication and business. It can also be used to describe certain political views. A person who is a pragmatic person for instance, would be willing to listen to both sides of a debate.
In the field of pragmatics, language is a subfield of syntax and semantics. It focuses on the context and social implications of language, rather than its literal meaning. It includes things like the norms of turn-taking in conversations, the resolution of ambiguity and other factors that affect how people use language. The study of the meanings of signs is closely linked to pragmatics.

There are a variety of types of pragmatism: formal, computational, theoretical, experimental, and applicational; intralinguistic and intercultural and cognitive and neuropragmatics. These subfields of linguistics are focused on different aspects, however they share the same goal to comprehend how people perceive their world through the language they speak.
Understanding the context of an assertion is one of the most important elements in pragmatics. This will help you determine what a speaker is trying to say, and also predict what the listener might think. If someone says, "I want a book" it is possible to conclude that they are talking about the book they want. If they say, "I'm going the library," then you can assume they are looking for information in general.
A pragmatic approach also involves determining the amount of information needed to convey an idea. This is referred to as the Gricean maxims and was created by Paul Grice. These maxims include being concise and truthful.
Although pragmatism waned in popularity in the 1970s, it has experienced its return in recent years due to Richard Rorty and others. Neopragmatism is a movement that aims to correct what it regards as the mainstream epistemology’s critical error that is that they believe that thought and language reflect the world (Rorty 1982). Particularly the past, philosophers have tried to restore classical pragmatism's ideal of objectivity.
