Congratulating and other ceremonial ritual acts are not only used when someone participates in an actual ritual event: they are also required when they are mentioned in mundane events, like casual interactions when someone talks about a family birthday or wedding. We define congratulation as an interactional move and systematically examine its conventional realisation patterns through a typology of speech acts. We approach congratulating moves by combining a speech act-anchored analysis with the field of study abroad and interaction ritual research. The results of our analysis show that various ritual occasions may trigger different types of inappropriate uses of congratulating by foreign learners of Chinese.</p>","PeriodicalId":46851,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics","volume":"33 3","pages":"459-475"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijal.12508","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138431923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different from previous works focusing mostly on lexical frequencies, this paper explores semantic categories of verbs and their correlation with the difficulty levels (DLs) of textbooks. Based on a corpus of nine sets of primary school Chinese textbooks, verb-frame diversity and distribution trends by difficulty levels were examined. The results show that the diversity of verb frames has a strong positive correlation with difficulty levels. The distribution trends of the frames largely correspond with the three cognitive tiers proposed in the skill theory for language development: the sensory–motor, representational, and abstract tiers.

This article focuses on the concept of metadiscursive verb patterns (MVPs) and examines their variation in English research articles across four domains representing hard/soft-pure and hard/soft-applied disciplines. Based on a bottom-up investigation of a self-compiled corpus, three findings are highlighted: (1) the crucial rhetorical roles of MVPs were established by their distinct functions in knowledge construction; (2) significant interdisciplinary variations of MVPs reflected the typical written conventions shared by writers of different disciplinary communities; and (3) the association between (sub-)categories of MVPs and disciplines foregrounded the most popular rhetorical strategies for using MVPs and salient disciplinary features. These findings are discussed in terms of the factors governing the use of MVPs and identification of disciplinary boundaries.

While many researchers agree that CLIL learners tend to have greater motivation than non-CLIL learners, there has been little explanation of the reasons behind this difference, perhaps partly because the field lacks studies from the perspective of CLIL students themselves. Based on the L2 motivational self-system and the construct of self-concept, this study employed a mixed-methods approach to explore CLIL and non-CLIL learners’ current and future self-visions. Fifteen-year-old learners in the Madrid region (<i>n</i> = 348) completed a questionnaire that considered their SES levels as well as experiences related to the scales of English self-concept, academic self-concept, and teacher expectations. The same learners were then invited to take part in focus groups in which researchers delved into the reasoning behind their motivation. Despite no significant difference in SES levels between CLIL and non-CLIL learner groups, CLIL participants are found to display a slightly more positive self-concept and more robust ideal L2 self-visions, which may explain the perceived greater motivation among CLIL learners to study (in) English. Furthermore, the L2 ought-to self is found to be a secondary, yet potentially positive force toward higher motivation.</p>","PeriodicalId":46851,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Linguistics","volume":"34 2","pages":"586-602"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135820411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, although L2 pragmatics has mainly investigated speech acts, self-praise has not been examined from the L2 perspective. Therefore, this study investigates instances of self-praise posted by learners of Chinese on social networking sites. Data were collected from 20 advanced learners of Chinese who were asked to share instances of self-praise they posted on their WeChat Moments. Altogether, 61 learners’ self-praise posts in L2 Chinese and 100 instances of self-praise from 20 Chinese native speakers were collected. The learners’ Chinese self-praise was analyzed in terms of different pragmatic strategies and emoji uses, with comparisons against the native speakers’ practices. Similarities and differences were analyzed between the two groups’ self-praise strategies and their emoji use in self-praise posts. The findings showed that the advanced learners were able to employ the three major types of self-praise strategies in their self-praise posts on WeChat Moments. However, their repertoires of individual self-praise strategies and emojis were not as wide as those of native speakers.
