This article delves into the realm of pragmatics, a branch of linguistics focused on the relationship between language and context, and its significance in literary analysis through speech act theory. It outlines the foundational aspects of pragmatics, drawing on the contributions of scholars such as E.S. Aznaurova and J.K. Adams, who stress the role of context and communicative conditions in language interpretation. The historical origins of pragmatic study are traced back to ancient rhetoric, highlighting early considerations of effective communication. Central to the discussion is speech act theory, introduced by J.L. Austin and expanded by John Searle, which differentiates between locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in language. This theoretical framework is applied to literature, illustrating how speech acts within narratives extend beyond conveying information to actively shaping the story and influencing reader engagement. The article argues for the importance of pragmatics in providing a richer comprehension of literary texts, positioning language as a dynamic force in the construction of meaning and social interaction within narratives.
