How would a listener know which pragmatic


Problem: Generally speaking, semantics is the study of the literal meaning of a sentence, while pragmatics is the study of the intended meaning of a sentence depending on the context of its use. Give two examples of sentences where the meaning of the sentence can vary depending on the context. For each sentence, provide the literal, semantic meaning as well as at least two different context-specific meanings. How would a listener know which pragmatic meaning is the speaker's intended meaning? Explain your thoughts.

Suggestions for comments on a classmate's post: Can you come up with another possible pragmatic meaning for one (or both) of their example sentences? In what context would this meaning be the intended meaning of a speaker (or the received meaning of a listener)?
