Abstract:

Requests, a speech act people frequently use to perform everyday 
social interactions, have attracted particular attention in politeness 
theories, pragmatics, and second language acquisition. This book 
looks at request behaviours in a significant EFL population - Chinese-
speaking learners of English. It will draw on recent literature, such as 
politeness theories and cognitive models for interlanguage pragmatics 
development, as well as placing special emphasis on situational 
context and formulaic language to provide a more fine-grained 
investigation. A range of request scenarios has been specifically 
designed for this project, from common service encounters to highly 
face-threatening situations such as borrowing money and asking a 
favour of police officer. Our findings on Chinese-style pragmatic 
behaviours and patterns of pragmatic development will be of value to 
cross-cultural pragmatics researchers, TESOL professionals, and 
university students with an interest in this area of study.
