A Study on NNS's Conference Questions and Answers.
Park, Kyung-Ja; Nakano, Michiko
Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, v4 n2 p364-81 2000
Investigates how nonnative speakers of English approach questions and answers posed to them to provide an explanation of how they resolve communication problems they face at an international conference. Results suggest that there are not many differences observed from Japanese and Korean querists and respondents in terms of their use of discourse markers and speech act strategies. (Author/VWL)
