语用失误与外语教学

Pragmatic Failure and Foreign Language Teaching

语用学作为语言学一个新的分支,研究的是语言的实际运用及其规律。在以英语为主导语言的交际中,中国学生往往因为中文话语行为,或是使用了不恰当的语言形式,或是错误的理解了语言形式,或是受了文化因素的影响等原因,导致了交际的失败。本文试图对中国学生和英语本族语使用者在语用差异和交际中的语用失误进行研究,解决上述问题。

Pragmatics as a new branch of linguistics deals with the practical use of language and its principles. In English communication, Chinese students are often found in failures of pragmatics, which are caused either by the influence of Chinese speech act, the inappropriate choice of language forms and the misunderstanding of pragmatic functions of language forms, or by the neglect of none-verbal elements. This paper will try to discuss pragmatic differences, pragmatic failure in the communication between Chinese and the native speakers of English.
