摘要

研究目的本研究旨在考察讲阿拉伯语的约旦人和讲西班牙语的卡斯蒂利亚人在拒绝朋友的邀请时使用拒绝语的情况,重点考察他们在拒绝策略、助词、顺序和频率方面的异同。研究方法设计了一个由各种情况组成的话语完成任务(DCT),以引出受试者的拒绝。借鉴 Beebe 等人的分类方法(1990 年),数据被分为头部行为(细分为直接策略和间接策略)和拒绝的辅助策略。结果虽然约旦和西班牙的受试者属于两种不同的文化(东方和西方),但研究结果表明,他们在拒绝方面的相似之处多于不同之处。他们在拒绝邀请时都表现出较强的间接性倾向,其中约旦人更为间接。两组人都普遍使用了表示遗憾、说明理由和否定能力等策略,但偏好程度和使用频率有所不同。至于辅助策略,两组人都倾向于在拒绝策略之前或之后使用较高比例的辅助策略。约旦人倾向于使用感谢和发誓等辅助词,而西班牙人则倾向于使用感谢和积极意见等辅助词。两组受试者都倾向于在拒绝回答中结合相同的典型成分,但在这些成分出现的顺序上有所不同。约旦人和西班牙人在回答中采用间接拒绝策略和附加成分,从实用角度看,这有助于减轻拒绝对邀请者可能产生的负面影响。结论:建议进一步研究约旦人和西班牙人在其他情况下的拒绝。

Refusing Invitations: A Contrastive Pragmatic Study of Jordanian Arabic and Castilian Spanish
Objectives: The study aimed at examining the use of refusals by Jordanian Arabic and Castilian Spanish speakers when declining invitations from their friends, focusing on similarities and differences in terms of head strategies, adjuncts, order, and frequency. Methods: A discourse completion task (DCT) comprising various situations were designed to elicit refusals from the participants. Drawing on Beebe et al’s categorization (1990), the data were categorized into head acts (subdivided into direct and indirect strategies) and adjuncts to refusal. Results: Although the Jordanian and Spanish participants belong to two distant cultures (eastern and western), the findings revealed that they were more similar than different in their refusals. They both showed a stronger tendency for indirectness in refusing invitations, with the Jordanians being more indirect. Both groups commonly utilized the strategies of statement of regret, giving reason, and negative ability, with different degrees of preference and frequency. As for adjuncts, both groups were inclined to employ a high percentage of adjuncts either before or after head strategies of refusal. While the Jordanians preferred the adjuncts of gratitude and swearing, the Spanish participants preferred gratitude and positive opinion. Both groups showed predilection to combine the same typical components in their refusal responses but differ in the order in which these components appeared. The employment of indirect refusal strategies and adjuncts in the Jordanian and Spanish responses pragmatically served to mitigate potentially negative effects of refusal on the inviters. Conclusion: Further research on Jordanian and Spanish refusals in other situations is recommended.
