Bi-cognitive awareness of l2 female learners' honorifics in inter-cultural interaction : a socio-cognitive linguistic analysis

الملخص EN

This study attempts to shed light on the Second Language Users/L2ers' intercultural pragma-Syntactic Conceptualized Content/SCC in realizing the social deictic, namely, honorifics across L1 and L2 requests so as to reach the dual language system fluency (Kecskes and Cuenca, 2005).

Requests are realized across L1 and L2 situational scenarios.

The Second Language Users/L2ers' communicative competence is displayed across the experienced syntactic forms.

In this study, the pragmatic awareness of the SCC is investigated across requesting behaviors in discursive scenarios to reach register cognitive socio-lect behavior.

The discursive scenarios are the role-play situations conducted between Females' same- and cross- gender interactions.

To analyze the results of the study, Byram's Inter-cultural Communication/IC conceptual approach (1997) is followed to approach the Conceptualized Content/CC across the linguistic performance that processes upon three levels of interaction; pragmatics, Interactional Sociolinguistics/IS, and discourse analysis.

The study results in; a) the female L2ers possess a highly significant pragmatic CC; b) the L1 and L2 CC is practiced in a standardized manner rather than the vernacular counterpart; and c) the high extent L1 and L2 dual fluency is reached.
