This volume presents comprehensive research on English refusals, focusing primarily on L2 use and secondarily on second language acquisition. Twenty-four dyads were video-taped performing open role plays in response to eight situations (two suggestions, two offers, two invitations, and two requests) designed to elicit a refusal. Each dyad consisted of an English NS and NNS, the latter being native speakers of Japanese with low to intermediate English proficiency.

<p>This study focuses on the strategies of responding to apologies from a cross-cultural perspective. It analyzes and compares apology response (AR) strategies adopted by three groups of English native speakers (ENS), Chinese native speakers (ENS) and Chinese EFL learners for potential cross-cultural differences. Results indicate that all three groups most favor the strategy of Indirect Acceptance to show politeness when responding to apologies. Given contextual factors such as social power, social distance and severity of offence, the three groups display different patterns of AR strategies. Chinese EFL learners’ AR strategies are similar to those of Chinese native speakers, indicating the influence of native culture on their pragmatic competence.</p>
