The signer in the video is giving a definition in Auslan for the English term PRAGMATICS. There appears to be no commonly used Auslan sign for PRAGMATICS (but some signers represent this visually using depicting signs, once they have established the topic). If you know a sign for PRAGMATICS used by you or other Auslan users (deaf people or interpreters) please go to "Report missing sign" and supply details. Thank you.
