Description
Measuring Second Language Pragmatic Competence: A Psycholinguistic Perspective explores how to assess the pragmatic abilities of non-native English speakers. The authors develop and test new methods for measuring pragmatic knowledge, including tests that examine irony and imitation skills. The book presents findings from studies with native English speakers and learners of Chinese and Japanese, as well as a confirmatory factor analysis that supports the theoretical basis of the tests. It also discusses the use of these tests in investigating L2 linguistic proficiency, study abroad experiences, and formal instruction. This volume provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating second language pragmatic competence and offers insights into the development of new assessment methods.
