Okayama JALT:

An Analysis of Pragmatic Errors Based on Riley's Hypothesis

Date: Saturday, April 23rd, 2005 Time: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Hiroko Murakami

Description:
Intercultural communication can be interpreted successfully only when we are sensitive to the socio-cultural rules of language use and the differences between our first and second languages. This is a presentation of the analysis of pragmatic errors so as to avoid misinterpretation. Some common errors which occur in language classes or in an inter-cultural context of daily life in the early stages of living in Japan will be given. Riley classifies four types of pragmatic errors, analyzes the causes/reasons of pragmatic errors, and offers seven correcting-error strategies. Examples of errors adopted from a questionnaire as well as from personal experiences are illustrated. Then causes/reasons and error-correcting strategies are discussed.
