| contents | Sociopragmatic failure revisited: the case of intercultural communication between Brazilians and Americans Milene Mendes de Oliveira Educación pragmatic failure sociopragmatic failure intercultural pragmatics Intercultural communication This article aims to discuss the concept of sociopragmatic failure (THOMAS, 1983) by focusing on American interviewees’ perceptions of the phenomenon as arising from utterances spoken by Brazilian learners of English. To achieve this aim, interviews were conducted with three American teachers working in Brazil. After watching video excerpts from previously recorded English classes, interviewees pointed out which utterances sounded inappropriate to them and commented on their perceptions of learners featured in the video, as well as on their experiences with Brazilian learners in general. Their responses were used as evidence for the hypothesis that different types of linguistic asymmetry – namely, structural, pragmatic, sociolinguistic, and discourse-related – can lead to sociopragmatic failure. 2017 artículo científico 1676-0786 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=339851657005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3398 Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada application/pdf Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Revista Brasileira de Linguística Aplicada (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.17 |
