Discourse and pragmatics: phenomena in linguistics

Abstract

Studies aimed at researching speech (discourse) in various aspects have paved the way for the emergence of various branches of science. The processes of speech, from transmission to communication, to processing and reception, are studied separately in specific linguistic areas of science. Acceptance and assimilation of speech by communicants acquires an individual character in each participant of the dialogue. If pragmalinguistics is a branch of linguistic science that studies these individualities, discourse can be identified as one of its main issues. This article covers some analyzes of discourse and pragmalinguistics, which are rapidly developing branches of today’s linguistics.
