This study investigates the similarities and differences in the use of strategies for the linguistic communication of gratitude in England and Jordan. Data were collected from 46 Jordanian native speakers of Arabic and 46 native speakers of English using Discourse Completion Task (DCT) and Role-play. The findings show some similarities and some significant cross-cultural differences in terms of the number and types of strategy used by English and Jordanian people across several social situations. I argue that these cross-cultural differences are best explained in terms of a small number of socio-cultural and contextual variables. The study has some interesting ramifications for explaining the relation between the universal and the culture-specific features of speech acts and point to some promising directions for future cross-cultural. Keywords: Cross-cultural pragmatics, sociolinguistic and sociocultural knowledge, politeness theory, socio-cultural variables. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
