• Dialog and pragmatic knowledge– “open the door” is a REQUEST (as opposed to a
STATEMENT or information-question)– It is polite to respond, even if you’re planning to
kill someone .– What is `that’ in `I can’t do that’?– What is “that” in “ I really know about that”?– What is “This” in “This is just I really want in my
life”?– What is “those” in “Those people are crazy”?
“Open the door” kiya matlab ?
