Abstract:

Acquisition in Interlanguage Pragmatics provides readers with a
much-needed insight into the development of pragmatic competence, an
area of research long neglected in interlanguage pragmatics. The
longitudinal investigation which provides the basic material for this
book consists of a corpus of requests, offers and refusals of offers
elicited from Irish learners of German over a ten-month study abroad
period using production questionnaires and a variety of metapragmatic
instruments. The analysis focuses on developments in these learners'
knowledge of discourse structure, pragmatic routines and internal
modification. Findings present valuable information pertaining to the
process of acquisition of pragmatic competence. They also point to the
favourable but imperfect nature of the study abroad context for the
development of pragmatic competence. A comprehensive discussion of
theoretical and methodological issues, an in-depth analysis and an
extensive bibliography make this book of interest to both researchers
and students in interlanguage pragmatics, cross-cultural pragmatics,
German as a foreign language and study abroad research.
