Abstract
This article investigates the relationship between discourse structure and pragmatic meaning in modern English communication. The study explores how contextual factors, speaker intentions, and interactional strategies influence the interpretation of meaning in spoken and written discourse. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from discourse analysis, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics, the research examines how linguistic forms function within communicative contexts. Particular attention is given to discourse markers, conversational organization, and contextual interpretation. The findings suggest that meaning in English discourse is not solely determined by grammatical structure but emerges through interaction between linguistic forms, communicative intentions, and sociocultural context.
