Semantics and pragmatics in actual software applications and in web search engines: exploring innovations

Abstract

While new ways to use the Semantic Web are developed every week, which allow the user to find information on web more accurately - for example in search engines - some sophisticated pragmatic tools are becoming more important - for example in web interfaces known as Social Intelligence, or in the most famous Siri by Apple. The work aims to analyze whether and where we can identify the boundary between semantics and pragmatics in the software used by analyzed systems. examining how the linguistic disciplines are fundamental in their progress. Is it possible to assume that the tools of social intelligence have a pragmatic approach to the questions of the user, or it is just a use of a very rich vocabulary, with the use of semantic tools?
