y Pragmatics refers to the social aspects of language and

the varied use of language in different social contexts. A

child with a pragmatic language disorder may fail to

alter his or her delivery on the basis of the situation andthe listener. As a result, he or she may speak to the

school principal in the same tone and manner as to a

peer on the playground (e.g., "Hey, man, what's

happening?"').

y ´¶Pragmatics· refers to the ways the members of the

speech community achieve their goals using language.µ

The way we speak to our parents is not the same as the

way we interact with a sibling, for example. Thelanguage used in a formal speech may bear little

resemblance to what we would hear at a lunch with five

friends. The conversational style of day-to-day

interactions is quite different from the language used

even when reading a storybook to a toddler. Knowing 

the difference and when to use which style is the

essence of pragmatics.
