Understanding Pragmatics* -1

Extract of an oral conversation :

a: Honey, I wanna fcuk you so hard...
b: [interrupting] 'No! I don't want to...'
a: [interrupting] 'I meant out of anger, you know!'



NB.The conversation was held between two persian-speaking indiviuals in a mixed code (English-Persian); English translation of parts actually utterd in persian is given in single quotation marks.



*Pragmatics is - roughly - the study of language in context; it deals with language use, ambiguity, polysemy, speaker's intention, etc.
