================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Greetings,

I am writing to ask if it is possible for a listener (or reader) to
understand and analyze the pragmatic meaning of a phrase or sentence before
its semantic meaning. If possible, could you please provide an example for
that.

Your consideration is highly appreciated,

Regards!
