| Summary: | Based on the theories of speech act, Politeness Strategies, this thesis
attempts to analyze the PSs in refusal in English and Vietnamese. The data
used in this study are collected via two questionnaires: the metapragmatic
questionnaire (MTQ) and discourse completion task (DCT) questionnaire.
The former is to help test the validity and reliability of the act of refusing in
English and Vietnamese in particular situations. The later is designed for
Politeness strategies analysis in the influences of relations. In addition, the
informants’ social parameters such as age, gender, marital status, occupation,
and living area are also taken into consideration.
The findings of the study are compared and contrasted to show the
major similarities and differences in the ways ENSs and VNSs refuse the
others. The writer hopes to help interlocutors avoid communication
breakdowns in Vietnamese - English communication in the investigated areas
and situations. |
