This book looks at request behaviours in a significant EFL population - Chinese-speaking learners of English. It will draw on recent literature, such as politeness theories and cognitive models for interlanguage pragmatics development, as well as placing special emphasis on situational context and formulaic language to provide a more fine-grained investigation. A range of request scenarios has been specifically designed for this project, from common service encounters to highly face-threatening situations such as borrowing money and asking a favour of police officer. Our findings on Chinese-style pragmatic behaviours and patterns of pragmatic development will be of value to cross-cultural pragmatics researchers, TESOL professionals, and university students with an interest in this area of study.Pragmatics & beyond ;new ser., v. 207.English languageStudy and teachingChinese speakersEnglish languageStudy and teachingChinaLanguage and cultureChinaLiteracyChinaSecond language acquisitionChinaEnglish languageStudy and teachingChinese speakers.English languageStudy and teachingLanguage and cultureLiteracySecond language acquisition428.0071/0951Wang Vincent X1702965MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808477203321Making requests by Chinese EFL learners4087869UNINA
