Kasanga, L. A.
Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, v25 n1-2 p87-104 Jan-Dec 1999
Focuses on the development of pragmatic competence by adult non-native users of English. One aim of the study was to verify whether exposure to models of requesting devices used by a competent user would be beneficial to a less competent user. Results suggest that such exposure is beneficial. (Author/VWL)
