Linguopragmatics in the system of linguistic sciences: conceptual analysis

Аннотация

This article is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of linguopragmatics as a branch of linguistics, exploring the historical development of this field since the 1970s. Various approaches to defining linguopragmatics are systematized, and its relationship with other established linguistic disciplines is examined. Special attention is given to the study of fundamental terminological frameworks and key concepts. As a result, the primacy of the human factor in linguopragmatics and its role in understanding language as a means of communicative interaction is emphasized. Keywords: linguopragmatics, human factor, communicative unit, means of communicative interaction, pragmatic aspect.
