''Suppose a friend of yours was told that a party started at 8:00 pm, and she showed up right on time. Unfortunately, in the interest of being fashionably late, no one else showed up until 9:00 pm.''

This scenario is broken down by the language system: pragmatics. This system focuses on conversational statements and text organization.
