this thesis explores the neurolinguistic foundations of pragmatic competence by examining how the brain constructs and processes communicative intentions in various social contexts. Bridging the fields of cognitive neuroscience, pragmatics, and language acquisition, the study analyzes neural mechanisms—such as Theory of Mind (ToM), mirror neurons, and frontal-limbic interactions—that underlie context-dependent meaning construction and pragmatic inference. Through a review of fMRI/EEG-based research, it highlights how neurocognitive development influences a speaker’s ability to infer implicatures, manage speech acts, and adapt language to context. The paper proposes a model where pragmatic competence is seen as a neurodynamic integration of cognition, affect, and intention in communicative interaction.
