Popis: Since Morris the analysis of the relationships between signs, or syntax, and between signs and their meaning, or semantics, has been opposed to the analysis of the relationships between signs and their users, or pragmatics. Thus, pragmatics is the use communicators make of signs and of linguistic signs in particular. Therefore, the psychotherapeutic practices that consist in using signs to a therapeutic end belong to pragmatics with good reason. And since using signs to a therapeutic end amounts to acting in an interlocutory situation it could even be added that therapeutic practices are related to a limited field of pragmatics, that of conversational pragmatics. The analysis of conversational communication should thus constitute the base from which psychotherapeutic interactions should be thought of. This is all the more so for, as Heritage notices (1990: 45, note 6)
