This paper reports on the second phase of a cross-sectional study of pragmatic development in Hong Kong.
Using example studies, this paper illustrates how mixed methods approaches can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of pragmatic development.
In July 2005, Ove Arup & Partners produced a report, DLR Horizon 2020 Study, for the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) examining "pragmatic development schemes" to expand and improve the DLR network between 2012 and 2020.
Pragmatic development in the future should be crop hyperaccumulators (newly termed as "cropaccumulators") by transgenic or symbiotic approach.

By 1980, however, the government had begun to pursue more pragmatic development policies, and in 1986 it introduced market-oriented reforms.
Secondly, despite the potential advantage that the second language environment affords to pragmatic development, this was not necessarily instrumental in enhancing competence.
In this paper, we propose a design process in which techniques for semi-automatic safety and reliability analysis of systems models are combined with multi-objective optimisation techniques to assist the gradual development of designs that can meet reliability and safety requirements and maximise profit within pragmatic development cost constraints.
We also show that this more nuanced approach to the role of lexical alternatives in pragmatic inference unifies previously unconnected findings about children's early pragmatic development and bears on major accounts proposed to date for children's problems with SIs.
Traditional scientific debate is one part of this kind of user-centred development, but the pragmatic development activities are another part of the methodological development.
Family members contribute to pragmatic development in different ways.
