摘要
the aim of this study was to test the Intercultural Style Hypothesis, put forward by Kasper and Blum-Kulka in the introduction to their 1993 volume Interlanguage Pragmatics, in relation to requesting behavior. The study looked into observable differences in L1 (Serbian) and L2 (English) requesting behavior and how these relate to speakers' L2 proficiency levels. The respondents were asked to complete a set of Discourse Completion Tasks; the responses were codified and the five elements considered in detail were the following: alerters, request strategies, syntactic downgraders, lexical and phrasal downgraders, and mitigating supportives. Statistical analyses of the data provide some support for the Intercultural Style Hypothesis.
