Document Details : Title: Terminology in Interlanguage Pragmatics Author(s): QUYNH TRAN, G. Journal: ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics Volume: 143 Date: Juli 2004 Pages: 109-120 DOI: 10.2143/ITL.143.0.504648 Abstract : Interlanguage pragmatics research has spanned a number of different areas in second language acquisition and pragmatics. In the large corpus of interlanguage pragmatics studies, basic terms such as 'interlanguage pragmatics', 'speech acts' and 'pragmatic transfer' have been referred to more often than not. But rarely have we stopped to re-evaluate the applicability and appropriateness of these terms. This paper aims to properly interpret or redefine their meanings and to propose more appropriate terms when possible. |
