Abstract
The main categories and units of pragmatics are explored, the specifics of the relationships between related pragmatic phenomena are revealed. The focus is on such concepts as pragmatic potential, pragmatic, communicative and perlocutionary effect, communicative competence, linguistic and speech pragmemes. The position on the importance of terminological justification of the main categories of modern pragmalinguistics is defended due to the lack of a unified approach to determining their content.
