Speech Act Performance
Speech acts are an important and integral part of day-to-day life in all languages. In language acquisition, the need to teach speech acts in a target language has been demonstrated in studies conducted in the field of interlanguage pragmatics which indicate that the performance of speech acts may differ considerably from culture to culture, thus creating communication difficulties in cross-cultural encounters. Considering these concerns, the aim of this volume is two-fold: to deal with those theoretical approaches that inform the process of learning speech acts in particular contextual and cultural settings; and, secondly, to present a variety of methodological proposals, grounded on research-based ideas, for the teaching of the major speech acts in second/foreign language classrooms. This volume is a valuable theoretical and practical resource not only for researchers, teachers and students interested in speech act learning/teaching but also for textbook writers wishing to have an informed opinion on the pedagogical implications derived from research on speech act performance.

The Pragmatics of Requests and Apologies
The purpose of this research is to analyse the pragmatic development of language groups at different proficiency levels and to investigate the relationship between interlanguage pragmatics and grammatical competence. For this study, 36 native Spanish speaking EFL learners at different proficiency levels were asked to respond in English to 24 different situations that called for the speech acts of request and apology. Results showed three important aspects. The first finding suggested that basic adult learners possess a pragmatic knowledge in their L1 that allows them to focus on the intended meaning and, in most cases, to assemble an utterance that conveys a pragmatic intention and satisfies...

Mey. A further thirty-eight chapters cover both traditional and newer areas of pragmatic research, divided into four sections: Methods and modalities Established fields Pragmatics across disciplines Applications of pragmatic research in today’s world. With accessible, refreshing descriptions and discussions, and with a look towards future directions, this Handbook is an essential resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in pragmatics within English language and linguistics and communication studies.
The Effects of Sex and Culture on the Apology Performance of Native English Speakers and Learners
This book is an original empirical study which contributes to the knowledge and scholarship in the fields of variational, interlanguage and cross-cultural pragmatics on a number of important levels. It highlights the potential influence of individual, regional and contextual variations, on the language use of native speakers and pragmatic performance of English as a Foreign Language learners, arguing that factors such as gender (operationalised via sex, e.g., female and male) and native culture should be considered in one single study. The book discusses the complexity of the influence of gender on language use, given that its influence may manifest in different ways in different cultures and contexts. Thus, researchers should focus on gender, culture and contextual variation when analysing language use conventions of native speakers and language learners with data highlighting the role of gender in learners’ first and second languages and cultures. The book also introduces findings which show the importance of cross-cultural comparison of Western Anglo-Saxon and Middle-Eastern Persian cultures in a single study and through a cross-culturally comparable data collection method.

Não sei escrever e estou a tentar fazê-lo? ... ir a tribunal desculpar os inocentes com a mesma garra e sabedoria como a senhora o faz, entrou-me no sangue, daí já me ter matriculado na universidade no curso de direito? ...- A diferença entre a apalpação e o fazer amor com elas ? referia-se às mamas ? é que a apalpação é mais profunda, enquanto fazer amor é suave, percebes? ...- Eu sei que me desejas o melhor, mas porque estou a sentir que posso deixar de pertencer ao reino dos vivos, pretendo acautelar o futuro de quem cá fica...
