pragmatic speech therapy

What is Pragmatics?

Pragmatics refers to the study of how context influences the meaning of language in communication. In transgender speech therapy, pragmatics may focus on teaching clients how to use language appropriately in various social situations to convey their gender identity effectively. This includes understanding social cues, adjusting speech style, and using language that aligns with the client’s gender expression.
