“…Nevertheless, the transfer has two sided implications, success transfer and failure transfer, based on the chosen speech style and topic. This finding echoed Shleykina's (2019) finding who found that among the major factors that influenced the L2 production of greetings are induced instruction, L1 transfer, low competence in a particular greeting phrase or strategy and desire to sound polite. Thus, the findings suggest the importance of exposure to and the understanding of the cultural context of a target language in choosing appropriate greetings among L2 in an interlanguage context.…”

“…Most studies on interlanguage pragmatics focused on the topics of requests (House & Kasper, 1987;Kasper, 1989;Koike, 1989), invitations (Mizushima, 2012), refusals (Takahashi & Beebe, 1987), complaints (Al Rashidi, 2017), apologies (Olshtain & Cohen, 1989), gratitude (Brodman & Eisenstein, 1988), greetings (Zeff, 2016;Inawati, 2016;Shleykina, 2019) and some other linguistic scenarios. In this study, we explain how interlanguage pragmatics take place on greeting which is the 'door' to most conversations.…”

Scholars in pragmatics argue that the teaching of a second language (L2) must pay extra attention to the language forms and expressions within specific cultural contexts. Not being able to use a L2 according to the nature of its cultural context could sometimes lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication. This study aims to explain the interlanguage pragmatic transfer in daily greetings used by Malaysian learners of Japanese. Using a convenient sampling technique, the respondents are 80 Malay students enrolling in a Japanese preparatory program prior to attending Japanese universities. Being competent in using Japanese language in context is therefore crucial for them. This study employs a qualitative research approach using Discourse Completion Tests (DCT) and follow-up interviews. Shleykina's model of greetings is appropriated and used as the framework which allows data to be categorized into six patterns. The findings show that Malaysian learners chose to use less greetings when they greet their Japanese friends visa -vis their Malaysian friends. The types of Japanese greetings they use are mostly greeting expressions from what they have learned in the classrooms. Other casual greetings applied are learned from anime, dramas and Japanese TV programs. This study revealed that some of the Japanese greetings used are actually a direct translation from Bahasa Melayu. This pragmatic transfer has offered two perspectives, which are, success transfer and failure transfer. The results contribute towards the importance of exposure to and the understanding of the cultural context of a target language in choosing appropriate greetings among L2 in interlanguage context.

Russell and the Handshake: Greeting in Spiritual Care

One of the most common practices in spiritual care involves welcoming or greeting others. Despite this, there is little literature exploring this practice in terms of how it is experienced by those we greet, how it impacts people and relationships, and how it should occur. By reflecting on several stories of handshakes and greeting, this paper seeks to call to attention the experience, impact, and “how-to” of greeting in spiritual care.

Advanced learners’ responses to Chinese greetings in study abroad

This study explored the pragmatic strategies that advanced L2 learners of Chinese produced in greeting responses (GRs). Data were collected through roleplays and retrospective verbal reports (RVRs) from 11 advanced learners of Chinese who were studying in China. To obtain comparison data, 20 Chinese students were recruited to complete the same roleplays. The GRs were coded into openings, head acts and closings, and classified into ten strategies: phatic phrases, address terms, corresponding answers, reciprocal compliments, disagreeing, seeking confirmation, thanking, reciprocity questions, introducing another topic and reasons. The findings revealed that compared with Chinese native speakers (NSs), advanced learners produced non-target-like GRs, although their GRs were acceptable based on two NSs’ evaluation. The RVR data indicated that the learners’ non-target-like GRs might result from their idiosyncratic perceptions of Chinese greetings, pragmatic knowledge deficits, effects of instruction and learner agency. Implications for future research and teaching Chinese pragmatics are also discussed.
