Pragmatism is a philosophy that contests the orthodoxy of foundationalists. It asserts that intuitions are always guided and influenced by concepts and descriptions, so we cannot be able to directly experience reality without filtering it through our beliefs and worldviews. According to pragmatists such as Sellars Rorty Putnam and Nelson Goodman we cannot validate theories or worldviews with pure, unadulterated sensual experience.

There are different types of pragmatism, from the study speech acts to the politeness theory. These areas of pragmatics have been examined using a variety of groundbreaking concepts, such as politeness theory, conversational implicature, and speech acts.

Some pragmatists go further than others. Some claim that correspondence theory is wrong and must be abandoned.

For instance, Schiller and Rorty belong to the former group, while Peirce, James, and Dewey belong to the latter.

The realm of pragmatics is extensive and complex. It covers a broad range of human communication issues that include inferences about logical meanings that are based on communication as well as the semiotics of non-verbal communications. It is also connected to other disciplines, like sociology, anthropology and the study of linguistics. In the latter half of the 20th century, pragmatics grew into an interdisciplinary field, with the influence of anthropological discourse analysis, cognitive-behavioural psychology and linguists.

In order to teach and assess these aspects effectively, it is important to understand how they affect speech and language. One of the most prevalent aspects of pragmatic language is the use of pragmatic markers (PMs). PMs are lexical items that indicate the meaning of a message and indicate how an interlocutor should interpret the message. They include you know that, so, and okay. They are used with high frequency and at an unconscious level. PMs serve the functions of interpersonal, textual and metapragmatic purposes (Gordon, 2007).
