Pragmatics refers to the practical use of language in different social contexts and situations. This includes understanding and using appropriate language for specific situations, understanding sarcasm and humor, being able to take turns during conversations, and being able to use language to achieve certain goals or purposes. Syntax refers to the structure of language, semantics refers to the meaning of words and sentences, and code switching refers to the ability to switch between languages or dialects depending on the social setting. While all of these aspects of language are important, it is pragmatics that specifically involves the practical use of language.
