Abstract

The current study has two objectives. First, to examine and discuss types of pragmatic competence or pragmatic knowledge that a speaker may possess. Second, to find out the vital role of pragmatic competence or pragmatic knowledge in linguistic communication. The method used in this research was library research. It was evident from the findings that pragmatic knowledge or pragmatic competence must include the knowledge of implicature, presupposition, speech acts, reference, deixis, definiteness and indefiniteness and their use in linguistic communication. A conclusion was also drawn that pragmatic knowledge or pragmatic competence had a vital role in language acquisition or language learning. A lack of pragmatic knowledge may lead to pragmatic failure, i.e., the inability to understand what the speaker means with his words in actual linguistic communication.
