大学生英语言语行为中礼貌策略的运用研究

The Use of Politeness Strategies by Chinese EFL Learners in Their English Requests and Refusals

请求和拒绝是面子威胁言语行为的典型代表,并带有鲜明的文化特色,因此可用以探讨学习者语用能力的中介语特色。个案研究表明,我国大学生英语学习者在实施言语行为时尚未达到与本族语者相当的礼貌程度,因此加强建设旨在提高语用意识的教学系统,进一步提高大学生英语语用能力和文化沟通能力,尤其是礼貌地实施言语行为的能力,显得尤为重要。

Requests and refusals are highly representative of face-threatening speech acts and largely culture-specific. Therefore they can be used to explore the interlanguage features of learner＇s pragmatic competence. This study finds that Chinese EFL learners haven＇t fully acquired native-like politeness when performing speech acts. Thus it seems to be particularly important to strengthen the construction of the teaching system which aims at raising pragmatic awareness and improve learners＇ pragmatic competence and cross cultural sensitivity, especially the ability to always choose appropriate politeness strategies in speech act performance.
