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.
