Pragmatics Analysis - Michael Halliday

When you do an analysis of pragmatics you are looking a child's competency in the "use" of language.  You look at their proficiency or ability to participate in conversation as well as their competency with the functions of language.

If you do an analysis of a child's pragmatic skills you will use Michael Halliday’s taxonomy of the functions of language to determine which functions the child demonstrates within the sample of language you capture.  Use the website at the link to provide you additional information.
