speaker and addressee
In pragmatics, meaning depends on the relationship between speaker and addressee.
A pragmatikában a jelentés a beszélő és a címzett közötti kapcsolattól függ.
The pronoun choice signals how the speaker positions the addressee.
A névmás megválasztása jelzi, milyen szerepbe helyezi a beszélő a címzettet.
The addressee may infer information that is not stated explicitly.
