خلاصة:
There is a close and narrow relationship between linguistics and philosophy. Throughout the history, they have had tremendous influences upon each other. Linguistics has always tried to look and analyze meaning from different angles. By the same token, philosophers have always tried to use and apply words and their meanings in different physical and linguistic contexts. Philosophers select and use words and phrases very carefully. It is because words and phrases are their only tools and means of transferring their thoughts and ideas. In this way, linguists try to analyze these words and phrases from different points of view, whether morphology, semantics, or pragmatics. In this article, we try to study words and their meanings from semantic and pragmatic perspective. In this regard, the key concepts that play a role in philosophy are scrutinized which include denotation (core meaning) and connotation (additional, emotional, and attitudinal meaning). Meanwhile, some other important ways of analyzing philosophical texts are considered based on presupposition, cohesion, and coherence. It is hoped that this article to be useful and helpful to both linguists and philosophers

Pragmatics Word of "Pragmatics" in philosophy deals with utterances, by which we will mean specific events, the intentional acts of speakers at times and places, typically involving language.
For instance, consider the word ‘faculty’ which has four main meanings based on the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: 1- any of the physical or mental abilities: e.
The first sense of the word ‘means’ refers to the ways of doing something in which philosophy acts as an instrument of penetrating into human nature and our physical world and the beyond.
In general, a reader of a philosophical text combines his/her dictionary knowledge with the shared background information in order to make sense of the content.
However, we assume that people use words somehow in the same way and with the same meaning.
The mental or visual images that we retrieve to use in our daily life through the words of our language may not necessarily relate to the specific meaning that people use.
In the field of philosophy meaning gets its senses based on the shared views held by the community of philosophers.
In the field of philosophy the individual words get their meaning inside the phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, and the whole texts.
