| Abstract | ||
| Pragmatics and Semantics are inter-related subjects and the distinction between them is necessary to provide a framework for explaining the variety of ways in which what a speaker conveys can fail to be fully determined by the (conventional) linguistic meaning of the sentence he utters. In a more positive vein, the distinction between semantics and pragmatics has served to separate strictly linguistic facts about utterances from those that involve the actions, intentions, and inferences of language users (speaker-hearers). However, there are some linguistic phenomena that seem to straddle the semantics-pragmatics boundary. In this research, we will introduce meaning in the first chapter because, in our opinion, meaning has to have a fair share in this study since pragmatics main concern is to deal with meaning, and to set forth the use of pragmatics discourse so that it will clarify how pragmatics function in a discourse or conversation, as well as, its basic concepts of pragmatics, functions, speech act theory, Paralinguistic, and linguistic aspects . Chapter two will explain and verify all the subjects that are related to Semantics, for instance, linguistics, function words, denotation, sense and reference, Moreover, the origin of English language. After introducing each subject regarding pragmatics and semantics, chapter three will concentrate on the finding of this study, through a practical type of study by analyzing the errors of EFL students in the college of Basic Education in cloze test.The study draws conclusion, finding, recommendations and suggestions. One of the most recommendations of the research is that: most of the third year students are not aware about the differences between the pragmatic and semantic meaning of the discourse or a text, therefore, the study recommend that the syllabuses of students courses need to be revised, and presumably student’s need more practice in this aspect. | ||
