This paper examines the pragmatic function of language, focusing on how meaning is created, interpreted, and communicated in real life. It also emphasizes that linguistic meaning contains both stable (invariant) and context-dependent (variable) elements that change depending on the speaker, the situation, and communicative intentions. The author provides examples from various languages illustrating how the same concept can be understood differently in different cultures and contexts.
