Abstract

This study aims to investigate the claims of Aspect Hypothesis which holds that in the past tense, perfective verbsprecede imperfective verbs, having a different pattern of acquisition based on their lexical aspect, i.e., learners initiate usingperfective past marks from the prototypical verbs which contain the achievement and accomplishment lexical aspects, while theystart using imperfective past marks from the verbs whose lexical aspects are stative and activity. In this study, ten Iranian (fromMashhad) Farsi speaking learners of English were given a film to watch and retell the story in impersonal narrative in past tense.The verbs which they applied were classified into 4 lexical aspect categories with different semantic features like telicity,durativity, and dynamicity; these categories include: state, achievement, accomplishment and activity. The results suggest thatatelic verbs like state and activity verbs were easier for the students to produce in past perfect and the atelic durative verbsactivities-were produced with higher accuracy in past imperfective.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the pragmatic function of politeness in a less-talked-about communicative act:advertising. Politeness theory being discussed by Leech (1983) and being analysed by the taxonomy of Brown and Levinson(1987), is known to be as one of the essential factors for a successful communication whose success is guaranteed byappropriate persuasive tools. The major focus of this study was to explore the politeness strategies adopted in English andPersian ads and finding their persuasive factors by comparing and contrasting them. To this end, a corpus of 100 Persian andEnglish ads was collected. Their lines were first analysed to pinpoint the politeness strategy category and subcategory in bothlanguages and then their frequencies were computed. Analysis of the results based on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) taxonomyof politeness functions indicated that English ads made more use of Positive politeness strategies while in Persian ads indirectOff-record strategies were more favoured. Exploring the findings according to Nisbett’s (2004) classification of Eastern andWestern cultural system confirmed the collectivist in contrary to individualistic nature of culture in those countries respectively.Consequently, it was illustrated that the choices of psychological strategies made by advertisers to persuade customers were inline with their intended culture.

Abstract

This study seeks to scrutinize how Iranian EFL teachers correct learners; in other words, the speech act ofcorrection they employ when providing feedback on learners’ errors is examined in this study. Due to the fact thatteachers are different considering their gender and teaching experience, these two variables are taken into account in thecurrent research. To achieve this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed among 180 Iranian EFL teachers of bothgenders (male and female), with different teaching experiences (0-5, 5-10, and above 10 years). At the end, teachers’responses to each option were transformed into tables and bar graphs displaying their frequency to be analyzedafterwards. Finally, the results were discussed and some suggestions were made.
