| Summary: | This article looks at how the pragmatic aspects of language have led to the birth of a separatediscipline, pragmatics, and also, to the critical of some branches of linguistics, as discourse analysis and textlinguistics. Being outlined initially through opposition with analytic philosophy, the pragmatic aspects arestudied within the philosophy of natural language. Notions as speech act, non-natural meaning orconversational implicature are rapidly integrated in linguistic research, that tries, through these concepts, toexplain the non-linguistic elements of the transmission of messages within the linguistic framework. It is thecase of integrated pragmatics in France. The interference of linguistics with the sciences of communicationled to the emergence of some disciplines that integrate the pragmatic facts, as discourse analysis and textlinguistics. The breaking with linguistics occurs with cognitive pragmatics, when the interpretation oftransmission of messages as a process of coding and decoding becomes unfitted to explain the non-linguisticfacts that do not belong to language. In this context it is developed a critique to the principles of thedisciplines that postulate the existence of some objects, beyond the sentence, as discourse or text. |
