By “pragmatic information” I mean the full body of knowledge, beliefs, assumptions, opinions, and feelings available to an individual at any point in the interaction. It should be stressed that the term “information” is not meant to be restricted to “cognitive” knowledge, but includes any possible item which is somehow present in the “mental world” of individuals, including their preconceptions and prejudices. Pragmatic information can be divided into three main components: (i) “general information“: long-term information concerning the world, its natural and cultural features, and other possible or imaginary worlds; (ii) “situational information“: information derived from what the participants perceive or otherwise experience in the situation in which the interaction takes place; (iii) “contextual information“: information derived from the linguistic expressions which are exchanged before or after any given point in the verbal interaction.
