Abstract: When we are sending or receiving information, it may be best to be as clear as possible.But, because of other functions of language and because of the importance of the relationship factors as well as the content, even our information is not always as clear and precise as we might wish it to be.The fact is that there are numerous sentences which are perfectly grammatical but ambiguous and, oftentimes, meaningless.The problem exists in the attempt at extracting a sentence out of context-dependent text of discourse."Discourse" on both intrinsic and extrinsic circumstances should be considered in the EFL classroom.The Importance of discourse analysis being the key to resolving ambiguities and misunderstandings is a case in point in this paper.
