High level knowledge which relates to the use of sentences in different contexts and how the context affect the meaning of the sentences ?

  • A.Morphological
  • B.Syntactic
  • C.Semantic
  • D.Pragmatic

Answer: D

The knowledge that relates to the use of sentences in different contexts and how context affects their meaning is pragmatic knowledge. Morphological knowledge is about word forms, syntactic knowledge about how words are structured into sentences, and semantic knowledge about the meaning of words and sentences taken alone.

Only pragmatics studies how the setting and the speaker's intent change the meaning of a sentence.
