Pragmatics is a piece of language study. It looks at how words and phrases carry special meaning in a particular situation — not just what the dictionary says, but what the speaker is doing with those words right then. “Can you pass the salt?” looks like a yes/no question, but at the table it is a request. “It’s cold in here” can be a hint to shut the window. That gap between the words on the page and what people actually mean is pragmatics. You meet this word in university and in language-teacher talk, not in the street. Though actually, the spelling sits right next to pragmatic, so often think pragmatics means “being practical.” It does not. It is the name of a field, like physics or ethics: the -ics says “the study of.”
