13/30 علم التداولية (Pragmatics - أفعال الكلام، التلميح، استراتيجيات التأدب) C2

Critically discuss the 'principle of least effort' in pragmatic processing, considering its role in both production and comprehension.

The principle of least effort means speakers always use the most complex language. The principle of least effort only applies to physical actions, not mental processes.
