The recent research focus on pragmatics leads to the consideration of issues of language use that have fundamental practical implications for language assessment and intervention. Specifically, the pragmatic orientation suggests changes in the content of language assessments, by evaluating various communicative functions the child expresses, and modifications in the process of language assessment, by encouraging both the initiating and responding dimensions of the child's communicative behavior. Furthermore, the pragmatic focus suggests changes in the process of intervention. The primary goal of intervention becomes facilitation of generalized communicative functions for which syntactic structures and semantic content are only the tools. And the pragmatic framework suggests guidelines for what constitute appropriate reinforcers that sustain rather than interrupt communicative interactions.
近期对语用学的研究重点引发了对语言使用问题的思考，这些问题对语言评估和干预具有根本的实际意义。具体而言，语用学取向通过评估儿童表达的各种交际功能，暗示了语言评估内容的变化，并通过鼓励儿童交际行为的发起和回应维度，暗示了语言评估过程的调整。此外，语用学重点还暗示了干预过程的变化。干预的主要目标变成了促进广义的交际功能，而句法结构和语义内容只是实现这些功能的工具。语用学框架还提出了关于什么构成适当强化物的指导方针，这些强化物能够维持而非中断交际互动。
