Abstract
Pragmatics is the study of language in context, which involves looking at how words are used in connection to other words and to all surroundings. These surroundings include people, location, setting, time, language, culture, situations, conventions, manners, and many other factors. Therefore, it follows that, when all of these circumstances are in order, the talk will be pragmatically successful. On another hand, any flaw in any of these conditions is referred to as ‘pragmatic failure’. Pragmatic failure is ‘the inability to comprehend what is said’. This failure could be a misunderstanding of the speaker’s words meanings (level 1) or even what the speaker’s intention of saying something (level 2). This study tackles pragmatic failure that takes place between people who share the same language and culture, as opposed to earlier published studies, which have primarily focused on the compatibility between various cultures and languages. Due to the fact that miscommunication occurs in all types of conversations, regardless of language, culture, or social background, it can occur at any moment and in any situation between any two individuals. This is the topic which has been covered in this study based on specific data in Egyptian Arabic and English, and assessed using linguistic theories intended to measure accuracy, clarity, and the efficiency of the communication process. Data is divided into sociopragmatic failure and pragmalinguistic failure. Misunderstandings brought on by linguistic factors or even the lack of verbal action are referred to pragmalinguistic failure. The failure of sociopragmatic concept, on the other hand, are those brought on by social divisions that can be found in age, sex, social class, and many other aspects. It is also divided into two levels. Moreover, the data from Arabic and English languages has been compared to see whether there are any differences in the reasons why pragmatic failure occurs in the two languages.
