second language acquisition, pragmatics, requests, apologies, study abroadRésumé
Cette étude a permis d'analyser les formules de requête et d'excuse employées par 67 étudiants américains, avant et après un séjour d'étude d'un semestre en milieu hispanophone. L'évaluation par des locuteurs natifs hispanophones de la validité pragmatique de ces formules indique que, dans l'ensemble, des progrès ont été accomplis sur la durée du semestre. Une analyse des stratégies utilisées pour formuler des requêtes et des excuses, préalablement au séjour à l'étranger et au terme de cette période, révèle que par certains côtés, les étudiants ont modifié leur comportement afin d'imiter plus précisément celui des locuteurs natifs qui leur servaient de référence, bien que dans certains cas ils ne se soient pas rapprochés de ce modèle d'authenticité, ou s'en soient même éloignés. Un autre objectif de cette étude a consisté à examiner les rapports potentiels entre, d'une part, le profil des étudiants, leur contact avec la langue espagnole et leurs progrès sur le plan de la sensibilité interculturelle, et d'autre part, les progrès mesurables sur la durée quant à leurs capacités à formuler des requêtes et des excuses. Parmi ces variables, seules celles qui concernent le contact avec la langue ont produit des résultats statistiquement signifiants. Cette étude contribue à une meilleure compréhension du développement pragmatique en langue seconde, ainsi que du rapport entre les caractères individuels et les facteurs liés au contexte d'apprentissage.
