Abstract

This research article aims to explore the direct speech act as used in Arabic language and in particular in the Saudi Arabian family context where Najdi dialect is used. The article analyses spoken conversations as data gained, and then transcribed, from Saudi family interactions in a series uploaded on YouTube. The analysis focuses on three areas: direct request speech act, the cultural impact of used forms and strategies, and the notion of face threatening in everyday Saudi family interactions. The study sheds light on one exemplary speech act, 'request'. The analysis focuses on three areas: direct request speech act, the cultural influence and the notion of face threatening. Results show tendency of Saudi family members to the use some Islamic forms in request (making and response/ decline or acceptance). Results also show that the use of religious forms such as Masha Allah and Insha’Allah could increase the pragmatic rejection of request by interactant(s) or have some mitigating role. Article is structures as follows: an introduction followed by theoretical literature related to the topic of study, and then a methodology precedes the analysis, findings and discussion. The article ends with a conclusion.
沙特阿拉伯家庭成员交流中的直接言语行为
本研究旨在探讨阿拉伯语中使用的直接言语行为,特别是在使用纳伊地方言的沙特阿拉伯家庭背景下。这篇文章分析了从上传到YouTube上的一系列沙特家庭互动中获得的数据,然后进行了转录。分析集中在三个方面:直接请求言语行为,使用形式和策略的文化影响,以及沙特家庭日常互动中威胁面部的概念。这项研究揭示了一个典型的语言行为——“请求”。主要从三个方面进行分析:直接请求言语行为、文化影响和威胁面孔的概念。结果显示沙特家庭成员在请求(提出和回应/拒绝或接受)中倾向于使用一些伊斯兰形式。研究结果还表明,使用宗教形式(如Masha Allah和Insha 'Allah)可以增加互动者对请求的务实拒绝或有一定的缓解作用。文章的结构如下:首先是引言,然后是与研究主题相关的理论文献,然后是分析、发现和讨论的方法论。文章以结论结尾。
