The purpose of this Chapter is to provide some indication
of the scope of linguistic pragmatics. First, the historical origin of the
term pragmatics will be briefly summarized, in order to indicate
some usages of the term that are divergent from the usage in this book.

some analytical notions that are useful background will be
introduced.
