Conclusion -- Appendix -- References -- Subject index -- PRAGMATICS AND BEYOND NEW SERIES.The first well-researched contrastive pragmatic analysis of requests and apologies in British English and Uruguayan Spanish. It takes the form of a cross-cultural corpus-based analysis using male and female native speakers of each language and systematically alternating the same social variables in both cultures.The data are elicited from a non-prescriptive open role-play yielding requests and apologies. The analysis of the speech acts is based on an adaptation of the categorical scheme developed by Blum-Kulka et al. (1989).The results show that speakers of English and Spanish differ in their choice of (in)directness levels, head-act modifications, and the politeness types of males and females in both cultures.Reference to an extensive bibliography and the thorough discussion of methodological issues concerning speech act studies deserve the attention of students of pragmatics as well as readers interested in cultural matters.Pragmatics & beyond ;new ser. 83.English languageSocial aspectsGreat BritainEnglish languageGrammar, ComparativeSpanishSpanish languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglishSpanish languageSocial aspectsUruguayLanguage and cultureGreat BritainSocial interactionGreat BritainLanguage and cultureUruguaySocial interactionUruguaySpeech acts (Linguistics)ApologizingCourtesyGreat BritainSocial life and customsUruguaySocial life and customsEnglish languageSocial aspectsEnglish languageGrammar, ComparativeSpanish.Spanish languageGrammar, ComparativeEnglish.Spanish languageSocial aspectsLanguage and cultureSocial interactionLanguage and cultureSocial interactionSpeech acts (Linguistics)Apologizing.Courtesy.306.44/0941ES 143rvkMarquez-Reiter Rosina857868MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956768903321Linguistic politeness in Britain and Uruguay4347471UNINA
