Abstract: | The article reviews the pragmatic literature on refusals and elaborates on the definitions and taxonomies in order to design a framework that might optimize cross-cultural comparisons and allow more accurate predictions of intercultural misunderstandings. Integrating the distinction pragmeme – practs – allopracts – interpracts with elements from the theories of interpersonal and intercultural communication, I suggest several macro- and micro-parameters that might account for the relationship universal – cultural – (inter)personal in performing the speech act of refusal. |
Key words: | pragmeme, refusals, universals vs cross-cultural variation, misunderstanding, predictions in intercultural communication |
