Pragmatics of Vietnamese as native and target language

Roever, Carsten & Nguyen, Hanh thi (Eds.)

Pallotti, G., & Wagner, J. (Eds.). (2011). L2 learning as social practice: Conversation-analytic perspectives. Honolulu, HI: National Foreign Language Resource Center-University of Hawaii.

The volume offers a wealth of new information about the forms of several speech acts and their social distribution in Vietnamese as L1 and L2, complemented by a chapter on address forms and listener responses. As the first of its kind, the book makes a valuable contribution to the research literature on pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and language and social interaction in an under-researched and less commonly taught Asian language. PRAGMATICS & INTERACTION, a refereed series sponsored by the University of Hawai‘i National Foreign Language Resource Center, publishes research on topics in pragmatics and discourse as social interaction from a wide variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives. P&I particularly welcomes studies on languages spoken in the Asia-Pacific region.
