The Compliment Response Behavior of Intercultural Encounters.

      Аннотация: The book gives insight into the compliment response strategies used to respond to compliments, the cultural norms governing these strategies, the contextual factors determining CRs, and the culture-specific strategies and perceptions that the American and the Tunisian participants seemed to hold when responding to compliments. The findings can be incorporated into a framework that uses the culture-specific strategies employed by the two groups as a reference for teachers who wish to design teaching activities that take into consideration the pragmatic aspects of the two participant groups’ language in use.
