PRAGMATIC CONTENT OF LINGUISTIC MEANS IN LITERARY TEXT

Abstract

As some scientists believe, texts do not have meanings, but in producing texts, people intended meanings. Through translator’s attempts to the possible extent while reading literature we understand author's intent, that intent for the target audience by using the target language. Since pragmatics has been recently given a concerning growth and interest by many scholars and linguists, this study viewed pragmatics as a component of considerable importance in translation processes. This article considers the linguistic means used by the author, to give the text a special expressiveness and semantic depth, special attention is paid to the text as a product of the speech-thought activity of the subject.
