N2 - The gist of what we intend to claim is: First, that the core of language use is divided between two different pragmatic competences: a purely linguistic pragmatic competence, of a certain nature, and a non-linguistic pragmatic competence, related to general cognitive systems, such as that of intentional action in general. Secondly, that there are reasons to believe that the linguistic pragmatic competence is represented in our minds as s cluster of modules, in a certain, revised sense of the term. And thirdly, that at least part of the cluster of pragmatic modules is related to the left hemisphere of the brain, while the right hemisphere, held by some to be the residence of pragmatics, is related to pragmatic competences in an utterly different way.
