Abstract
The best way to delimitate the field of pragmatics, at least from one side, is probably to try to fix the boundary between it and its neighbour, semantics. So I will begin this paper with an attempt to characterize semantics. After that I will consider the frontier at the other side, in particular the border to the general theory of speech acts. Finally I will give a few examples of philosophical problems, or rather types of philosophical problems, the structure of which I think will be more conspicuous in the light of the distinctions made in this paper.
