Abstract
The article explores the pragmatic features of the text as an essential aspect of its
communicative organization and functional realization. Pragmatics, as a branch of
linguistics, studies the relationship between language and its users, focusing on how
meaning is shaped by context, intention, and interaction. Within this framework, the
research highlights the key pragmatic characteristics of the text, including intentionality,
addressability, informativeness, modality, evaluation, and contextual dependence. Each of
these features contributes to the text’s ability to convey the author’s communicative intent
and to influence the addressee’s perception and interpretation. The article also discusses
the role of pragmatic categories such as presupposition, implication, and deixis in ensuring
coherence, relevance, and expressiveness. Through the analysis of various text types, the
study demonstrates that pragmatic features are closely related to the social and situational
factors of communication, reflecting the dynamic interaction between the speaker, the
listener, and the discourse environment. Thus, the pragmatic approach provides a
comprehensive understanding of how linguistic choices shape meaning and effectiveness
in communication.
