2020Similar to ethnomethodology (and CA), the pragmatic tradition in the philosophy of language and linguistics, especially SAT, also seeks to study the ‘order’ instead of formalistic representations of the language system in language use.

Teachers can help learners develop awareness about L2 pragmatic norms by making visible how speech acts are performed
