- Description
- This chapter examines possibilities for pragmemes and practs in artificial languages, and whether and how artificial languages differ in these respects from natural languages. In some controlled languages (a type of artificial language), it is only possible to discuss a small set of topics, meaning that the set of possible pragmemes is small. Some other artificial languages are designed for use by a particular group of people, in some cases by only one person. Such differences seem to make some artificial languages quite unlike natural languages; that is, although artificial languages, no matter how strange they may seem on the surface, seem to resemble natural languages in some areas (e.g. syntax), with respect to pragmemics they appear very different. However, if artificial languages are used to report on pragmemes (e.g. in fiction), they may (and may have to) allow for a wider range of pragmemes and practs.
