Pragmatic Processing is a cognitive mechanism within the broader domain of language comprehension that specifically involves the real-time interpretation and inference of speaker meaning in context, distinguishing it from syntactic or semantic processing by its reliance on contextual, social, and world knowledge to derive intended meaning beyond literal linguistic form.
