Pragmatika. Studijní příručka

This book is available in the PDF format free of charges.

The delimitation of the notion of pragmatics, linguistic pragmatics or pragmalinguistics is rather contradictory in its basis: there are many different definitions. However, the phenomena that are normally included in this term constitute fundamental questions, themes and issues related to communication and the use of language; interest in their examination in linguistics has been growing.
Being language users, we have everyday experience with the phenomena examined by pragmatics, their mastery facilitates communication, while difficulties in this area may easily lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. Mastering pragmatics is one of the most difficult areas when learning a foreign language and it is also very difficult to teach this practically. Understanding pragmatic topics can be beneficial not only theoretically, but it can have very positive practical consequences.
