Abstract:

Email has become a ubiquitous medium of communication. It is used amongst
people from the same speech community, but also between people from different
language and cultural backgrounds. When people communicate, they tend to
follow rules of speaking in their native language, termed by scholars as
pragmatic transfer, which may cause misunderstandings and lead to
cross-cultural communication breakdown. This book examines pragmatic transfer
by Chinese learners of English at different proficiency levels when writing
email requests and refusals. To meet the need for developmental research in L2
pragmatics, it also explores whether pragmatic transfer increases or decreases
as language proficiency improves. This book will appeal to researchers and
students in interlanguage and intercultural pragmatics, second language
acquisition, English as a second/foreign language, and intercultural
communication.
