You will also see how these pioneering efforts attempted to broaden the scope of pragmatics and the extent of improvement thereafter as more language scholars became interested in the field. You will get to see why we have decided to discuss the relationship between Pragmatics and Semantics in this article rather than in the last module where the interfaces of Pragmatics are generally discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d9762422b4c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d9762422b4c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/brief-history-of-pragmatics\/#The_Origin_of_Pragmatics_Charles_Morris_1938\" >The Origin of Pragmatics (Charles Morris, 1938)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/brief-history-of-pragmatics\/#Carnap_1938_on_Pragmatism\" >Carnap (1938) on Pragmatism<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/brief-history-of-pragmatics\/#History_of_Pragmatics_and_Semantics\" >History of Pragmatics and Semantics<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/support.centreforelites.com\/ru\/brief-history-of-pragmatics\/#CONCLUSION\" >CONCLUSION<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origin_of_Pragmatics_Charles_Morris_1938\"><\/span><span style=\"color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\">The Origin of Pragmatics (Charles Morris, 1938)<\/span><a name=\"_Toc46930082\"><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">The origin of modern pragmatics is attributable to Charles Morris (1938), a philosopher who was concerned with the study of the science of signs or \u201cSemiotics\u201d. According to Morris, Semiotics consisted of three (3) broad branches namely:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark133\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(a)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Syntax being the formal relation of signs to one another<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark134\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(b)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Semantics being the formal relations of signs to objects to which they refer<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark135\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(c)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Pragmatics being the formal relations of signs to interpreter (the language user)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Within each of these branches (e.g. syntax) Morris also distinguished between \u201cpure studies\u201d and \u201cdescriptive studies.\u201d Pure studies are concerned with the explanation\/elaboration of a sign system\/symbols used to describe language called <i>metalanguage.<\/i>While descriptive studies are the application of the metalanguage to a particular language,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark136\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->i.<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">e. descriptions of signs (or words) and their usages. As we noted in Unit 1, Morris attempted to include some aspects of psychology, biology and sociology which occur in the functioning of signs known as the \u201cbiotic aspect of semiosis\u201d in pragmatics. But we know that this scope is much wider than what goes on today in linguistic pragmatics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Interestingly, Morris\u2019 broad use of pragmatics has been retained in some quarters and this explains the use of the term in disciplines such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, communication etc. Pragmatics is also used within analytical philosophy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carnap_1938_on_Pragmatism\"><\/span><b><span style=\"color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\">Carnap (1938) on Pragmatism<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Carnap like Morris was a philosopher and logician. His work is quite influential because of his attempt to narrow down the scope of pragmatics. He also distinguished a trichotomy of semiotics as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark143\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(i)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">If in an investigation explicit reference is made to the speaker, or to put it in more general terms, to the user of the language, then we assign it (the investigation) to the field of pragmatics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark144\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(ii)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">.. .If we abstract from the user of the language and analyze only the expressions and their designata, (references) we are in the field of semantics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a name=\"bookmark145\"><\/a><!-- [if !supportLists]-->(iii)<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><!--[endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">And finally, if we abstract from the designata also and analyze only the relations between the expressions, we are in (logical) syntax <i>(quotedfrom Levinson, 1983:3)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Carnap retained Morris\u2019 idea of pragmatics as an investigation in which explicit reference is made to the speaker or the user of the language and equated pragmatics with descriptive semiotics (formal study of meaning). Like Morris, he made a distinction between pure and descriptive studies, equating pragmatics with the latter. He also added a <i>pure pragmatics<\/i> to include concepts like belief, utterance and intention and how they relate to each other. This latter idea (i.e. pure pragmatics) has since been dropped. In the 1960\u2019s, Carnap\u2019s definition of pragmatics as requiring reference to the user was adopted within Linguistics, especially within a movement called \u201cGenerative Semantics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">It is necessary to mention here that Carnap\u2019s definition of pragmatics as requiring reference to the user of the language is as too narrow as it is too broad. According to Levinson (1983), it is too broad because it admits such studies as \u2018slips of the tongue or word associations and studies in linguistic pragmatics should be restricted to investigations that have at least some linguistic implications.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">On the other hand, it is too narrow because if we take words like <i>I<\/i> and <i>you,<\/i>for example, they identify particular participants (or users) and their role in the speech event, just as words like <i>here<\/i> and <i>now<\/i> indicate the place and time of the event (not necessarily referring to the user). Therefore it is argued that Carnap\u2019s definition might be modified to say something like \u201cIf in an investigation explicit reference is made to the speaker, or to put it in more general terms, to the user of the language, <i>and those linguistic investigations that make necessary reference to aspects of the context, <\/i>then we assign it to the field of pragmatic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Pragmatics_and_Semantics\"><\/span>History of <b><span style=\"color: windowtext; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\">Pragmatics and Semantics<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">According to Carnap (1938) \u201cif we abstract from the user of the language and analyse only the expressions and their designate (objects), we are in the field of Semantics\u201d. Hence Semantics is \u201cthe formal relation of signs to the objects they refer to\u201d (Morris 1938). While Semantics is defined as meaning of words or linguistic expression in a given language, (without reference to the speaker and the situation), pragmatics is defined in relation to the speaker and the context of the communication event, with a particular interest in the functions, intentions, goals and effects of utterances.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Semantics is simply concerned with the conventional meaning of words, phrases and sentences rather than what a speaker or writer might want the words to mean in a particular context\/situation. This technical approach to meaning centres on the objective and general (Yule, 1996). Hence, we talk of meaning in terms of universal applications. In other words, what an English expression means in Zambia is what it should mean elsewhere. So linguistic semantics emphasises conventional meaning expressed by the use of words and sentences of a language.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Some scholars, however, have argued that pragmatics is no different from semantics because according to them semantics adequately covers all aspects of pragmatics. The contextual theory of meaning (which is a semantic theory) for example, explains the relationship between language and oncontext. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">On the other hand, scholars in defence of pragmatics, argue that pragmatics covers those areas that semantics has hitherto overlooked, especially the concept of speech acts. It throws more light to what speakers\/writers actually do with language and what effects they expect from their hearers\/readers. In semantics you ask, \u201cwhat does gyp mean? But in pragmatics the question is \u201cwhat do you mean by gyp?\u201d So the focus of pragmatics is the user rather than the linguistic code.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CONCLUSION\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\">CONCLUSION<\/span><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">We can see that interest in the study of the nature of meaning is not just a linguistic affair, but a concern that cuts across disciplines. This explains why earlier studies of meaning began with philosophers (e.g. Charles Morris and Carnap). It is interesting to note that the search for both linguistic and social meanings is an ongoing activity and the results of these studies have further thrown significant light on the true nature of meaning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">Semantics which is often described as the study of \u201cthe meaning of meaning\u201d has been so extended to include these interesting studies from which pragmatics is, as a matter of fact, apart. It is therefore difficult to discuss the origin of pragmatics without reference to semantics. It is by a thorough understanding of semantics that the functional meaning of pragmatics emerges especially if we view pragmatics as an extension of semantic (or linguistic) meaning to contextual and user-based meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;This article on
