The study of linguopragmatic means has become an essential part of modern linguistics, focusing on how language is used to achieve communicative goals in specific contexts. Linguopragmatic devices help speakers express intentions, manage interpersonal relations, and influence the addressee. This paper explores the theoretical foundations of linguopragmatics, examines various linguopragmatic means such as speech acts, implicatures, presuppositions, politeness strategies, and discourse markers, and highlights their manifestation in English speech practices.
