Rolul contextului în codificarea şi decodificarea actelor de vorbire indirecte [Articol]

Abstract

The term context is used in pragmatics studies to highlight the message known to communication participants, both the sender and the receiver, a message that contributes to the correct understanding and interpretation of the information. The role of context is crucial in the theory of speech acts, in which the intention of the speaker and the effect on the interlocutor has a central position, but especially in the interpretation of speech acts: one and the same linguistic formula serves to achieve several pragmatic functions, and one and the same function can be achieved through several linguistic formulas. Thus, if the illocutionary value of the utterances is not marked by specific means, it becomes contextually determinable.
