Description

Those who use languages frequently fail to notice how context affects meaning, changing it from semantics to pragmatics. The purpose of this research is to investigate how context contributes to the creation of meaning. The study shows that context dictates the symbolic significance of linguistic components (constructions) based on observation and secondary evidence. The approach significance is created and comprehended is greatly impacted by it. Furthermore, there is a significant discrepancy between the place of origin and content of statements. Listeners typically interpret speakers' words according to the situation where they are delivered. This research, which is based on the socio-cognitive concept about how languages use, makes the assumption that the hearer's mind is more flexible and elastic than language, allowing it to create, adapt, and comprehend more notions than language itself can. The research comes to the conclusion that pragmatics and semantics converge when meaning is predetermined by context. It is suggested that further research be conducted to better understand, teach, and explore the interconnection between context, meaning, situational roles, and the interface between pragmatics and semantics.
