refusal in L2

What is it about?

Refusal is commonly face threatening acts. Nevertheless L2 learners have different strategies of expressing it. This study shows that EFL learners and native speakers of English employed different paralinguistic strategies. Whilst some strategies used by the learners were much closer to their native language, there were different strategies from either their native language and target language.

Why is it important?

Learners tended to resort to their native language when they were not able to use L2 and they also often created their own pragmalinguistic system.
