Conveying meaning relies on context relies on grammatical maker Pragmatic mode ﹠ syntactic mode Pragmatic mode: a style of expressing meaning which relies more on context. Syntactic mode: a style of expressing relies more on formal grammatical elements. Proposed by Talmy Givon (1979) which studies the distinction between these two modes and the notion that change from one to another is evolutionary in nature. *
