Abstract:

Cross-Cultural Pragmatics and Foreign Language Learning provides a new
ground-breaking approach to the study of second language learning
through the lens of cross-cultural pragmatics. Cross-cultural
pragmatics involves the use of contrastive linguistic research,
supported by a variety of methodologies such as surveys, interviews
and discourse completion tests. A key strength of the speech
act-centred interactional framework proposed is that it allows the
reader to understand difficulties faced by foreign language learners
through pragmatic evidence. An important advantage of this approach is
that it consistently avoids ideological pre-assumptions and related
overgeneralisations. The book presents the framework in a highly
accessible and reader-friendly way and illustrates how to put this
framework to use with a number of case studies. The authors are
internationally leading experts of pragmatics and applied linguistics
whose work is a must-read for both academics and students focusing on
applied linguistics and second language learnings.
