This study examined the production of requests by L2 learners of English in Korea. 33 subjects participated in the study. Data were collected through a discourse completion task (DCT), which elicited suitable request strategies for different context. The contexts were divided into three categories, varying in levels of social distance, power relation and status. The responses from the subjects were analyzed according to the levels of directness proposed by Blum-Kulka (1987) and request perspectives (Blum-Kulka, et al. 1989). The results showed that there was no apparent connection between social variables and use of request strategies. The Korean L2 learners employed the conventional indirect strategies when they produced requests to a person of equal status and of higher status, and to a stranger as well. Findings indicated that the social variables have minimal influence on Korean L2 learners production of requests in English.
Abstract
