Paul Grice put down the basis of Pragmatics in linguistic philosophy to think about communication in broader terms other than Semantics. His theory of implicatures is about communication as an investigative process for relevancies is tied to the context where the communication happens in. Pragmatics proves that language on its own is limiting, through the means of mind reading abilities and the common understanding of how things work in reality.
