英语学习者礼貌语用能力调查及其启示

An Empirical Study of Chinese EFL Learner's Politeness and Pragmatic Competence and its Implications

语用能力的培养在英语教学中受到越来越多的重视,而遵循礼貌是语用能力的重要一环。调查表明,学习者的礼貌语用能力过多地体现在语用语言能力方面,没有充分考虑到语境的制约作用。据此,在英语教学中应该着重培养学生的社交语用能力,凸显礼貌的级别性与文化特殊性。

Pragmatic competence has attracted increasing attention in English teaching,and observing the politeness principle is an integral part of pragmatic competence. Surveys shows EFL learners' politeness and pragmatic competence unduly rests in pragmalinguistic competence without adequate attention to the context- dependence of politeness. Therefore,English teaching should stress the development of learners' sociolinguistic competence,highlighting the gradations of politeness and its cultural particularity.
