Abstract
A caricature is a drawing, the artist who draws it is a creative person who tries to send messages in a sarcastic way. This study is dedicated to investigate some selected Iraqi caricatures as one of the effective tools that have implied or hidden meanings. This study also tries to fill in the gap of the misunderstanding of the aims of the caricatures that have been taken from Iraqi newspapers. It also aims at identifying and explaining the elements of the pragmatic level of analysis for the selected coronavirus caricature posters. The researchers adopt Hymes’ SPEAKING model (1974), Grice’s Implicature theory (1975), and Yule’s Presupposition theory (1996). The study uses a qualitative method in collecting and analysing data. The selected data that will be analysed are three caricatures. The study concludes the importance of the pragmatic aspects in revealing the meaning of the texts in caricature posters by using different theories of pragmatics.
