Module pragmatics 

Post-parse pragmatic inference transformations.

This module applies pragmatic rules to the parsed logical representation, converting indirect speech acts to their illocutionary force:

• Polite requests (“Can you X?”) → Imperatives
• Permission modals with addressee agent → Imperatives

These transformations capture the pragmatic insight that modal questions directed at the addressee often function as requests, not information-seeking.
