Used byCLAIM-009 — Pragmatic judgements may be formally contextual: their context-relative distributions may admit no global extension once direct context effects are accounted for, CLAIM-091 — A translation can reach pragmatic equivalence by compensating for changed social coordinates with changed linguistic ones, so lexical infidelity can be required for pragmatic fidelity, CLAIM-336 — The pragmatic-transport and will-organization lines describe one model, an organization of operators that act on a shared interpretive state under a context while allocating one another's influence: a frame is the context under which operators act, a judgement is the response they yield, an action-generating regime is an operator or coalition, and a will-organization is the dynamics that allocates influence among them

Definition

A24: “Instead of beginning with a fixed communicative act U that gets expressed in different frames, consider a communicative situation described by C = (u, s, a, k, g)”: utterance, socially situated speaker, audience, shared knowledge and conventions, genre. A pragmatic judgement is context-indexed, P(J = j | C). Translation changes u (and k, g) while trying to keep s; reattributing the words changes s while keeping u.

What it is not

Not Goffman’s footing, though it absorbs it. Footing was a participant role (A14); here it is an index on judgement distributions, and the change was not remarked. Not the operator sense of TERM-026: a context indexes a distribution, an operator changes a state. The manuscript keeps both: contexts as the cover of §3, framing operations in §9.

Why it is still Active

TERM-030 extended this situation tuple with norms and history. The index on judgement distributions survives as the manuscript’s measurement contexts (§3). It is not the elicitation protocol that A125 read into its title; that sense is TERM-039.
