This study aimed to revisit the interpretation of\u0000 the negative meaning by concentrating on ta’ārof (ritual) offers produced by characters in Iranian films. First, these\u0000 items were identified and distinguished from their genuine counterparts based on the strategies used in their structures and analysing their\u0000 contextual features respectively. Then, the researcher proposed a model in which she adopted the notion of Leech’s (1983) meta-implicature (indirect implicature) to explicate the negative meaning of ta’ārof\u0000 offers. She grouped a series of effective factors in working out these meta-implicatures. Finally, a tentative hierarchy of stages for\u0000 identification and interpretation of ta’ārof offers in Iranian films were proposed.","PeriodicalId":219483,"journal":{"name":"Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics","volume":"123 17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131310057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Effects of task repetition with written corrective feedback on the knowledge and written accuracy of learners with different\u0000 prior knowledge of the structure","authors":"Sima Khezrlou","doi":"10.1075/resla.19054.khe","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/resla.19054.khe","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Previous task repetition studies have largely overlooked the second language learners’ development of linguistic knowledge\u0000 as well as written accuracy. Furthermore, sufficient attention has not been paid to the role of written corrective feedback (WCF) in task\u0000 repetition to reinforce attention to form. Moreover, studies exploring task repetition effects on learners with different prior knowledge of\u0000 the target structure are rare. This study attempted to bridge these lacunas. Seventy-nine upper-intermediate learners in Iran were divided\u0000 into four groups: task repetition with no feedback (TR), task repetition with metalinguistic feedback (TR+M), task repetition with direct\u0000 feedback (TR+D), and task repetition with mixed direct metalinguistic feedback (TR+DM). All groups performed an error correction test that\u0000 measured explicit knowledge, an elicited imitation test that tapped automatized explicit knowledge, and a picture-cued written production\u0000 test that measured written accuracy. Participants performed a dictogloss task and received WCF before repeating the same task. Subsequently,\u0000 they performed another dictogloss task with different content. Results revealed that the +Prior Knowledge learners in the TR+DM group gained\u0000 explicit knowledge and proved slightly better than the TR+D regarding written accuracy. None of the groups, however, could develop\u0000 automatized explicit knowledge.","PeriodicalId":219483,"journal":{"name":"Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115907055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
