Entre la gramática y la pragmática (sobre la pragmagramática)

In order to resolve the many problems that the “real statements” (A. Narbona) present with the description and the explanation of the grammar, we propose a third grammatical domain: pragmagrammar, together with strict grammar and pragmatics. In pragmagrammar are located the effects in the process of consolidation of the pragmatic explotation of grammar. First, certain categories (discourse markers, constructions, verbal periphrasis), subject to a process of change, intersubjective, of diffuse and irregular boundaries and occupying outer positions of the statement. In addition to these categories and positions, the operation of adjustment of the sentences to their context also belongs to pragmagrammar. The meanings corresponding to the domain of pragmagrammar are presumptive meanings of Levinson. This level of pragamagrammar generates a approach (Situated and Emergent Grammar) from which the grammar is studied in relation to the intentions of users. Understood in this way, the grammar is situated in the communicative function, which forces it to adapt and therefore to go through changes that will bring about the emergence of new categories.
