2. The Relation of Semantics with other Disciplines P hiloshoper : they impact their subject for performative and peech (Austin), presupposition (Strawson), and implicature (Grice) on linguistic but for an older and more traditional area of philoshopie that has interested linguist is that of logic. Logic makes use of concept that are found in ordinary language . A nthropologist : concern to languge as essential cultural and behaviour. In linguistic area they use context of situation(Malinowsky).

3. In context situation,it does not even discuss which context can be handle in systematic way, to provide a statement meaning. 4. P sychology : the role of meaning is important, even dealing with grammatical issues, than one would have guessed from reading most linguistic work on the subject. The grammer seems quite explicit on meaning to help us with interpretation.

4. Semantics and Pragmatics Pragmatics studies the relation between linguistic expressions and their users. It is concerned with meaning not just as a property of language, but as a particular speaker’s use of language in a particular context. Meaning in this context means that: It involves the speaker’s intention to convey a certain meaning which may or may not be evident from the message itself, Consequently, interpretation by the hearer of this meaning is likely to depend on context, and Meaning is something which is performed, rather than something that exists in a static way. It involves: Action: the speaker producing an effect on the hearer Interaction: the meaning being ‘negotiated’ between speaker and hearer on the basis of their mutual knowledge.

5. The distinction between semantics and pragmatics are: Semantics: focus on meaning or competence Pragmatics: focus on use or performance There are three logically distinct positions between semantics and pragmatics, such as: Pragmatics should be subsumed under semantics (SEMANTICISM), Semantics should be subsumed under pragmatics (PRAGMATICISM), Semantics and pragmatics are distinct and complementary fields of study (COMPLEMENTARISM).

6. There are some advantages of pragmatic analysis, such as: Pragmatic analysis explains the asymmetry Pragmatic analysis can capture the generalization made by the performative analysis, by formulating them in terms of situation of utterance/thought rather than in terms of syntactic or semantic constituent structure. Pragmatic analysis can despense with the performative-deletion transformation, which is a necessary part of the performative analysis. Pragmatic analysis in terms situation of utterance it does not come to grief over utterances. Source: Leech, Goeffrey. 1981. Semantic The Study of Meaning. 1974. Great Britai n : Pelican Book.
