It is a linguistic theory founded by Jef Verschueren, a well-known Belgian linguist and secretary-general of the International Pragmatics Society. In his view, language use is the process by which language functions, or, in other words, the process by which language users constantly choose language means according to the needs of the communicative context to achieve their communicative intentions. Here, compliance is embodied in the mutual adaptation between the language use environment and the choice of language structure.
