Defining Pragmatics

The first definition is offered by Crystal (1997) which defines pragmatics as the study of communicative action in its sociocultural context. In addition to using speech acts such as apologizing, complaining, complimenting, and requesting, communicative action includes also engaging in different kinds of discourse and participating in speech events of varying length and complexity.

Mod
Prayers....

Have you ever noticed that everytime we pray, it makes us feel assured, humbled and selfless? Like you could share your thoughts, plans, and things that you want to accomplish to God. I really can't describe the feeling, all I can say it is wonderful. We can't please other people to like us no matter what but if you try to talk to our God even just a couple of minutes, somehow our burden is lessen.

 

Through prayers, we can wish our love ones, friends, neighbors even enemies to…

The book that struck me

Finally, i've read the book called "Made in America. My story" by Sam Waltom, the founder of Wal-Mart. The story of the Wal-Mart establishment is really impressive. I reckon that people, who are somehow connected with such notion as "trade", should always re-read this book. And it's a pity that nowdays there are not so many good traders and shops as well.

To Love Somebody....

Why is it so hard to love somebody that both of you has it's own life already?

Why is it so hard to love somebody who gave you all the LOVE and CARE but you need to consider somebody's feelings?

Why is it too late to meet somebody who you thinks he/she is the one for you and you are a perfect couple?

 

Why is it that sometimes LOVE isn't fair enough?
