Pragmatic Transferability.

Takahashi, Satomi

Studies in Second Language Acquisition, v18 n2 p189-223 Jun 1996

Examines the transferability of five Japanese indirect request strategies to corresponding English request contexts. Findings indicate that the Japanese strategies were differentially transferable and the transferability of each first-language request strategy was determined by interaction between the politeness and conventionality encoded in each strategy.
