    PRAGMATIC CONTEXTS

    MALINOWSKIS CONTEXTUAL MEANING AND PRAGMATIC MEANING

    By: R. Yohanes Radjaban

    Abstract

    A study on context is problematic (Schiffrin, 1994: 383). One reason for thisis that the study on context means the study on something else that is

    vague and really broad in a sense. Another reason for the study is that there

    is often overlapping definitions on context proposed by pragmatics and

    sociolinguistics since both of them study contexts. This article is particularly

    going to discuss pragmatic contexts that are different from sociolinguisticones. Malinowskis contextual meaning which inspires further studies by

    some linguists of the same interest represents the embryonic ideas onsociolinguistic context. His affected followers try to define contexts to help

    understand utterance meaning.

    Keywords: pragmatic context, contextual meaning, utterance meaning

    I. INTRODUCTION

    When first I read J. K. Rowlings three-year-bestseller book Harry Potter and

    the Sorcerers Stone, I found out that Rowlings way to begin her story is similar with

    the one found in Peter Pan, The Indian in the Cupboard, The Lion, The Witch and The

    Wardrobe. Each book begins with the real world and moves to the fantasy, and then

    returns to the real world. There is a kind of a classic fantasy pattern in those five books. It

    is worth noting that the books have different authors, settings, plots, and even themes. Is

    it a coincidence? Surprisingly, the answer is no. It is not a coincidence. Lvi-Strauss

    (Widdowson, 1997; 73) argues that all mythsstories and other cultural products are

    considered mythshave structural pattern which gives the myths meanings. He believes

    that this linguistic model will uncover the basic structure of the human mindthe

    1

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    2/21

    structure, which governs the way human beings shape all their institutions, artifacts and

    forms of knowledge. (pp. 73-74) To Lvi-Strauss, the structures of myth point to the

    structures of human mind common to all peoplethat is, to the way all human beings

    think. Myth thus becomes a languagea universal narrative mode that transcends

    cultural or temporal barriers and speaks to all people, in the process tapping deep

    reservoirs of feeling and experience. (Guerin, L. Wilfred & Friends; 1992: 336)

    Lvi-Strauss, like other structuralists, agrees that literature has a special

    relationship with language: it draws attention to the very nature and specific properties of

    language. (Widdowson, 1997; 72) According to Jan Mukarovsky, the work of art is

    perceived as such only against a more general background of signification. In Saussures

    view, words are not symbols which correspond to referents, but rather are signs which

    are made up of two parts: a mark, either written or spoken, called a signifier, and a

    conceptwhat is thought when a mark is madecalled a signified. (p. 67 68)

    Language is one among many sign-systems. The science of such system is

    called semiotic. (p. 68). Within semiotics, Morris (Levinson, C. Stephen, 1983: 1)

    distinguished three distinct branches of inquiry: syntactics, being the study of the formal

    relation of signs to one another, semantics, the study of the relations of signs to the

    objects to which the signs are applicable, and pragmatics, the study of the relation of

    signs to interpreters.

    Talking about pragmatics means talking about meanings of utterances which

    cannot be accounted for by straightforward reference to the truth conditions of the

    sentences uttered. (Qazdar in Levinson, 1983; 12) It means that pragmatics is concerned

    with the study of the aspects of meaning not covered in semantics. Another definition of

    2

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    3/21

    pragmatics says that pragmatics is the study of the relations between language and

    context that are basic to an account of language understanding. Poedjosudarmo

    differentiates meanings into two types of meanings. One is contrastive meaning and the

    other is contextualmeaning. To obtain the meaning of utterances, Malinowski argues that

    one need merely correlate the utterances with the contextof concurrent human activity.

    In this paper, the discussion will mainly focus on meanings, which Malinowski

    concerns and which pragmatics concerns. I am interested in talking about this simply

    because both Malinowski and pragmatics correlate meanings to contexts. I would like to

    find out if both of their views on meaning have relation. This paper will also explicate (1)

    the principles of Malinowskis view on meanings, (2) the definitions of pragmatics and

    the aspects of meaning in pragmatics.

    I. DISCUSSION

    In this section, I will describe some theories related to the main focus of this

    paper. They are (1) the principles of Malinowskis view on meanings, (2) the definitions

    of pragmatics and the aspects of meaning in pragmatics. Based on these theories, the

    paper will analyze the relation between Malinowskis contextual meaning and pragmatic

    meaning.

    a. Malinowskis view on meanings

    Bronislaw Malinowski is an anthropologist. He did a lot of research in

    ethnographical fields. He was the only anthropologist who had had an abiding interest

    in language. (Langendoen, D. Terence, 1968; 2) Malinowskis view on language are

    reflected on his ethnographical findings summed up in: Classificatory Particles

    3

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    4/21

    (1920), Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922), The Problem of Meaning (1923),

    and Coral Garden and Their Magic (1935).

    1. Classificatory Particles (1920)

    Throughout the paper, Malinowski asserted that there is a need for the

    development of a theory of semantics that will enable researchers in linguistics to

    probe more deeply into language structure. He argued that a semantic theory

    should be connected closely with ethnographic theory, since an understanding of

    what people mean by what they say depends upon what their culture is (p. 7).

    Since Malinowskis understanding of universal grammar was traditional school

    grammar, he proposed that a semantic theory must provide a basis for the

    definition of the traditional parts of speech, their modification like cases and

    tenses, and certain grammatical relations like subject and predicate.

    Malinowski added that the definition of categories and relations of universal

    grammar should take into account the semantic circumstances provided by the

    cultural environment in which the language is spoken (p 10). Malinowski simply

    argued that the cultural importance of bunches of fruit in Kiriwina accounts for

    the existence of a special classificatory particle for each of several nouns

    designating bunches of fruit in the language. Similarly, there is a classificatory

    particle used only with a noun designating batches of fish, since batches of fish

    play an important role in the economic life of the island (p 11).

    2. Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922)

    Malinowski had little to say about language in Argonauts of the Western

    Pacific. He remarked that the language of magical texts is not like ordinary

    language. Magical style does not serve to communicate ideas from one person to

    another but is an instrument serving special purposes. It is for the exercise of

    mans specific power over things and its meaning can be understood only in

    correlation to this aim (p. 15).

    Malinowski seemed to believe that the meaning of magical text could be

    arrived at through rules, which are different from the rules governing the meaning

    of ordinary discourse. In sentences of ordinary discourse, the meaning is arrived

    at by concatenation of the meanings of the elements in the sentences. He added

    that the order of words in sentences reflects the order of ideas in the mind. The

    semantic properties of magical texts are exceptional.

    3. The Problem of Meaning (1923)

    In this article, Malinowskis linguistic views are radically different. He exactly

    reversed his assertion in Argonauts of the Western Pacific that the language of

    magic is a kind of a language use. In this article he considered that the language

    of magic is an exemplification of the basic and primary use of language, and that

    the use of language to communicate ideas is special or derivative.

    An utterance receives its meaning not from a logical concatenation of the ideas

    expressed by the words comprising it but from its relation to the situational

    context in which it occurs (p. 16). Utterances and situation are bound up with each

    5

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    6/21

    other and the context of the situation is indispensable for the understanding of

    words. Utterance has no meaning except in the context of situation.

    To obtain the meaning of utterances, Malinowski argues that one need merely

    correlate the utterances with the context of concurrent human activity. The

    problem then occurs when one is going to obtain the meaning of written language.

    Written language is the only kind of language for which a semantic interpretation

    cannot be supplied by a context of human activity. He then explains that it might

    be possible to characterize the meaning of the sentence in terms of the meanings

    of the lexical items comprising it. At one point Malinowski denied the assumption

    that the meaning of lexical items is contained in them, yet here he explicitely

    refers to the meaning of lexical items (p. 19).

    Malinowski proposes three different types of context of situation. Those are:

    (1) situation in which putatively speech interrelates directly with bodily activity

    that is culturally significant, (2) narrativesthe situation of the moment of

    narration and the situation referred to by the narrative, (3) situation in which

    speech is used to fillso to speaka speech vacuum. (p. 21)

    4. Coral Garden and Their Magic (1935)

    In this book, Malinowski introduced three major ideas into his semantic theory,

    and all of them are related to the notion that the objective of linguistic analysis is

    to interpret actual texts in a foreign language in the language of the ethnographer.

    The first is concerned with the context of linguistic data. The real linguistic fact is

    the full utterances within its context of situation. The second new major idea

    concerns with the range of meaning. If a sound is used in two different contexts, it

    6

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    7/21

    cannot be called one word. It must be considered as really two words that happen

    to be homophonous. The third major notion in Coral Garden is that the context of

    situation may be enable one to disambiguate sentences that are semantically

    ambiguous. Within Malinowskis theory, on the other hand, no sentence should be

    ambiguous, since it can be correlated with at most only one context of situation at

    a time. (p. 30 31)

    b. Defining Pragmatics and the Aspects of Meaning in Pragmatics

    A number of distinct usages of the term pragmatics have sprung from Morriss

    original division of semiotics: the study of the huge range of psychological and

    sociological phenomena involved in sign systems in general or in language in

    particular; or the study of certain abstract concepts that make reference to agents

    (Carnaps sense); or the study of indexicals or deitic terms (Montagues sense); or

    finally the recent usage within Anglo-American linguistics and philosophy.

    Traditionally, syntax is taken to be the study of he combinatorial properties of

    words and their parts, and semantics to be the study of meaning, so (1) pragmatics is

    the study of language usage. Such a definition hardly suffices to indicate what the

    practioners of pragmatics actually do. Let us consider a set of possible definitions of

    pragmatics. One possible definition might go as follows: (2) pragmatics is the study

    of the principles that will account for why a certain set of sentences is

    anomalous, or not possible utterances. The sentences like Freds children are

    hippies, and he has no children; I order you not to obey this order do not have

    contexts in which they could be appropriately used (Levinson, 1983: 7). Although an

    approach of this sort may be quite a good way of illustrating the kind of principles

    7

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    8/21

    that pragmatics is concerned with, it will hardly do as an explicit definition of the

    field.

    Another kind of definition that might be offered would be that (3) pragmatics

    is the study of language from a functional perspective, that is, that it attempts to

    explain facets of linguistic structure by reference to non-linguistic pressures and

    causes. Such a definition for pragmatics would fail to distinguish linguistic

    pragmatics from many other disciplines interested in functional approaches to

    language, including psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.

    One quite restricted scope for pragmatics is that (4) pragmatics should be

    concerned solely with principles of language usage, and have nothing to do with

    the description of linguistic structure. To ivoke, Chomskys distinction between

    competence and performance, pragmatics is concerned solely with performance

    principles of language use. Katz and Fodor suggested that a theory of pragmatics

    would essentially be concerned with the disambiguation of sentences by the contexts

    in which they were uttered. (p. 8) In fact, it is clear that contexts do a lot more than

    merely select between available semantic reading of sentences.

    Here we come to the heart of the definitional problem. Let us consider some

    potential definitions that are more plausible candidates. We may begin with a

    definition that is specially aimed at capturing the concern of pragmatics with features

    of language structure. (5) Pragmatics is the study of the relations between

    language and context that are grammaticalized, or encoded in the structure of a

    language. (p. 9) The main strength of this definition of pragmatics is that it restricts

    the field to purely linguistic matter. It is a definition that handles the aspect of

    8

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    9/21

    pragmatics concerned with linguistic structure, but not the side concerned with

    principles of language usage, or at least only indirectly as they impinge on linguistic

    organization.

    In the definition above, the notion of encoding implies that pragmatics is

    concerned with certain aspects of meaning. One kind of definition that would make

    this central might run is that pragmatics is the study of all those aspects of meaning

    not captured in a semantic theory. Such a theory means that there will be a great deal

    of the general field of meaning left unaccounted for by a restricted semantic theory,

    and this could be indeed the domain of pragmatics. (p. 12)

    The distinction between sentence and utterance is of fundamental importance

    to both semantics and pragmatics. A sentence is an abstract theoretical entity defined

    within a theory of grammar, while an utterance is the issuance of a sentence in an

    actual context. Semantics is concerned with sentence-meaning, and pragmatics with

    utterance-meaning. (p. 18 19)

    Let us turn to another definition that would give he context-dependent nature

    of such phenomenon more centrality. (6) Pragmatics is the study of relations

    between language and context that are basic to an account of language

    understanding. Here the term understanding is used to draw attention to the fact that

    understanding an utterance involves a great deal more that knowing the meanings of

    the words uttered and the grammatical relations between them.

    The strengths of such a definition are hat it recognizes that (7) pragmatics is

    essentially concerned with inference (Thomson in Levinson, 1983; 21). Given a

    linguistic form uttered in a context, a pragmatic theory must account for the inference

    9

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    10/21

    of presuppositions, implicatures, illocutionary force and other pragmatic implications.

    Secondly, it does not make the distinction between semantics and pragmatics along

    the encoded or non-encoded line. This is important because there still controversy

    over whether such pragmatic implications as presuppositions or illocutionary force

    are or are not encoded or grammaticalized in linguistic forms. Thirdly, it includes

    most aspects of the study of principles of language usage. (p. 21)

    Let us now turn to one of the definitions most favoured in the literature. This

    definition would make central to pragmatics a notion of appropriateness or felicity.

    (8) Pragmatics is the study of the ability of language users to pair sentences with

    the context in which they would be appropriate. Such a definition provide a nice

    parallel with semantics: for just as a semantic theory is concerned with the recursive

    assignment of truth conditions to well-formed formulae, so pragmatics is concerned

    with the recursive assignment of appropriateness-conditions to the same set of

    sentences with their semantic interpretations. In other words, a pragmatic theory

    should predict for each and every well-formed sentence of a language, on a particular

    semantic reading, the set of contexts in which it would be appropriate. (p. 24 25)

    Let us now turn to the last definition of pragmatics that is simply to provide a

    list of the phenomena for which a pragmatic theory must account. (9) Pragmatics is

    the study of deixis, implicature, presupposition, speech act, and aspects of

    discourse structure. (p. 27)

    c. Defining Pragmatic Context

    Based on the definition of pragmatic context above general pragmatics focuses

    the study on real language utterances. In the real communication, any utterance is

    10

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    11/21

    always affected by communicative contexts usually called pragmatic contexts. In a

    simple way, pragmatic contexts consist of all factors defining utterances meanings.

    The fact that there is a relationship between language and the context in which it

    occurs can be demonstrated in a number of ways.

    First, note that we use different language to achieve similar purposes in

    different contexts.

    (1) You havent got any money on you, but want to buy a newspaper.

    (2) You need to borrow a few thousand pounds to buy a new flat.

    (3) You would like to go on a world cruise, but need to borrow most of the

    money for this from your bank.

    Clearly, in each situation many different things could be said. What is

    important to note is that different types of language are likely to be appropriate in

    different contexts, and our choice of language depends on such things as who is

    involved in the communication and the relationship between them, and what we hope

    to achieve through our communication.

    Second, the same language can have different meanings in different contexts.

    Think about what the questions mean in the following situations:

    (4) Andi has fallen off his bike and landed awkwardly. Dany does an initial

    assessment of his injuries and the says:

    Can you move your legs?

    (5) Nicole is sitting with legs outstretched in an armchair in a small sitting

    room. Nanny is carrying a tray of glasses past where Nicole is sitting.

    Nanny says:

    Can you move your legs?

    11

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    12/21

    While an analysis of linguistic form would suggest that the two utterances are

    identical, the messages they convey in the invented contexts is different. In the first,

    Dany asks about Andis physical ability to move his legs in order to assess the

    seriousness of the injury. In the second, Nanny makes a request. The same words,

    then, can convey different messages depending on the context in which they occur.

    Third, even when a stretch of language is taken out of context, we can

    sometimes infer a great deal about the context from which it was taken. Think abour

    what we can say about the context for each of the following:

    (6) Fifteen love.

    (7) First check the content to make sure that nothing is missing.

    (8) This town aint big enough for both of us.

    The usual context for the first is quite specific: said by an umpire in a tennis match.

    The second is often the first instruction that comes with a self-assembly item, for

    example flat-packed furniture. The third is the kind of thing said in old cowboy and

    western films prior to a confrontation between two characters.

    d. Approaches to study linguistic contexts

    Although Malinowski highlighted the significance of context in

    communication, he did not set out to describe precisely either the nature of context, or

    its impact on language choice, and it has left to later researchers to explore in more

    detail the relationship between context and how language is organized to achieve

    communication. Three in particular John Rupert Firth, Dell Hymes, and Michael

    Halliday have had a major impact on linguistic contexts.

    12

    13/21

    1. John Rupert Firth

    Firths concern was to determine which of the many variables in a situation

    allow us to predict the language to be used. He suggested the following dimension of

    situation as being of potential influence:

    1) The relevant features of participants: persons, personalities,

    (i) The verbal action of the participants,

    (ii) The relevant objects,

    (iii) The effect of the verbal action.

    To illustrate, we might imagine a scene in a theatre box office where a customer is

    booking a ticket for a future performance. Relevant features of the participants may

    be that one is a customer who wishes to check seat availability and purchase a ticket

    while the other is a booking clerk who has access to information about availability

    and the means of receiving payment. Verbal actions may involve greeting, checking,

    requesting, confirming, and so on. Non-verbal actions may include keying in

    information on the computer, pointing to a seating plan, and handing over a credit

    card. Relevant objects might include a computer, a seating plan, a credit card, and a

    machine for transacting credit card payments. The effect of the verbal action is that

    the customer receives tickets for the performance, and the seats are designated

    reserved by the booking clerk.

    2. Firsts interest in specifying the features of context which are potentially relevant

    to the form, appropriacy and meaning of utterances was also pursued by Dell

    Hymes (in Bell, 1976). Hymes provides what is essentially a checklist of

    contextual factors that could be noted by researchers in investigating

    13

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    14/21

    communicative events. He usually organizes these using the mnemonic

    SPEAKING:

    S refers to the setting and scene, including the time, place and concrete

    physical circumstances in which the event is produced.

    Prefers to the participants involved. Some events, such as a conversation, may

    have just two participants who encourage roles between speaker and hearer,

    while a formal lecture will have many participants but only one who takes

    on the role of speaker.

    Erefers to ends, or the purposes or goals of an event. Some events have very

    clear ends. Announced over the public address system during the interval in

    a concert, the purpose of the following is very clear: Ladies and gentlemen.

    This evenings performance will recommence in five minutes. Please take

    your seats in the auditorium now.

    Arefers to act sewuence, or the form and content of the event. Events such

    as lecture, chat, shopping, list and instruction manual will be associated with

    different things talked or written about and different kinds of language.

    Krefers to key, the tone in which a communicative act is done, such as serious

    or painstaking.

    I refers to instrumentalities, including the channel in which communication

    takes place such as speech, writing or some other mode of communication.

    Nrefers to norm of interaction and interpretation, such as the norms associated

    with interaction in a church service or speaking to a stranger.

    Grefers to genre, such as poem, sermon or joke.

    14

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    15/21

    3. Building closely on Firths work, Michael Halliday explores which aspects of

    context influence how we use language. For Halliday (1978) the social context

    consists of those general properties of the situation which collectively function as

    the determinants of text, in that they specify the semantic configurations that the

    speaker will typically in contexts of the given type. He suggests that in any

    situation these general properties can be organized into three dimensions that have

    linguistic consequences, which he calls the field, tenor, and mode. Field refers to

    what the language is being used to talk about. Tenor refers to the role relationships

    between the people involved in the interaction. Significant variables include the

    relative status of the interactants, how frequently interaction between them occurs,

    and the extent to which the interactants are involved emotionally in a situation.

    Mode refers to the way in which language function in the situation: for example,

    whether it is spoken or written.

    II. CONCLUSION

    From the two different basic theories, we may say that Malinowski made of the

    knowledge of context of situation to interpret particular utterances in the texts that he had

    collected. We discover that in fact he use it to supply their semantic interpretation and to

    supplement his knowledge of their meaning, which he obtained independently of his

    knowledge of their contextual setting. In evaluating the influence of Malinowskis views

    about language, and in particular about semantics, it is important to realize that his idea

    on the role of context to assert meanings have great effects. Viewed from the sequence of

    time, I can say that Malinowskis idea influences very much Morriss introduction of

    15

  • 7/28/2019 Malinowskis Linguistic Theory Paper

    16/21

    pragmaticspragmatics is the study of aspects of language that require referenceto the

    users of the language. Afterwards, Malinowskis idea on contextual meaning plays very

    great role on pragmatists further definitions on pragmaticsdefinitions (6), (7), (8), and

    (9).

    From the date of publication, Malinowskis articles about semantics, in

    particular about the important role of contexts in decoding meanings, were issued earlier

    Classificatory Particles (1920), Argonauts of the Western Pacific (1922), The

    Problem of Meaning (1923), and Coral Garden and Their Magic (1935)than

    Morriss introduction of the trichotomy syntax, semantics, and pragmatics(1938). I do

    not think that Morriss semiotic trichotomy was issued three years after Malinowskis

    Coral Garden and Their Magic (1935) was a coincidence.

    Based on the two arguments above, I might argue that Malinowskis views on

    semantics, in particular about the idea of his contextual meanings, very much inspired the

    scope of pragmatics meanings, especially the ones which account for the role of contexts

    in decoding meanings.
