Pragmatic Categories is a theoretical construct in linguistic typology that classifies speech acts, discourse functions, or interactional strategies across languages according to their contextual use and functional variability, distinguishing it from syntactic or semantic categorization by focusing on language-specific realizations of speaker intent in social interaction.
