Pragmatics is The study of how language is used to Communicate. It concerns itself with how people use language within a context and why they use language in particular ways. Context can be divided into 4 subparts, and it can be named aspect of context.
Next
Physical Context (where the conver- sation takes place; what objects are present & what action taking place) Epistemic Context (background knowledge shared by the speakers and hearers) Linguistic Context (utterances previous to the utterance under consideration) Social Context (the social relationship and setting of the participants)

Felicity Conditions
The persons and
circumstances must be
appropriate. Eg. An eight
year old child cannot perform
a valid act of marrying by
saying, “I now pronounce you
both are a couple of
husband & wife” (even if the
bride and groom are able to be
married).
The act must be executed completely
and correctly by all
participants. Eg. George says,
“I bet you 5 dollars that
Gryffindor will win the Baseball
Match”. But, Fred responds with , “Sorry, I never gamble”. Then the fact of
betting isn’t valid.
The participants
must have the appropriate
intentions. Eg. Ron and Harry are competing
for the same job and Ron
subsequently says, “I
congratulate you on your
good fortune”. Ron, however secretly hopes that Harry will be unable to
perform the job. In this case, the
act congratulating
isn’t valid.

Speech ActsSpeech Acts can be illustrated, when speakers express their emotion, make requests, commits themselves to actions – they do things with words. In linguistic pragmatics, we use the term speech act to describe such language action.
For example, the Speech Acts of Promising there are at least five different felicity conditions. They are:Next

of simply uttering a sentence from a language.

h. Conversational Maxims
For example, if you eat rainbow cake & then announce, “I feel just awful”, you mean exactly what you say. Thus, this utterance constitutes a literal speech acts. On the other hand, imagine a student in English class who does not know about Tenses. As he begins the midterm exam, he turns to his friend and says, “I just love taking English test”. He doesn’t mean what he says. This utterance then would constitutes a non-literal speech acts.
Interaction of Direct-Indirect andLiteral-Nonliteral Speech Acts
We have seen that speech act can vary along two dimension; directness and literalness. The fact that each of these dimensions has two values means that we should be able to identify four different types of speech acts : a. Literal and Direct;
