AlbakiReads Editorial

Vietnamese speech acts in native and learner contexts

This edited volume examines how Vietnamese speakers use speech acts, comparing Vietnamese as a native language (L1) and as a target language (L2). Its coverage includes the forms and social distribution of several speech acts, alongside a chapter on address forms and listener responses. The focus brings pragmatic patterns into view in relation to sociolinguistics and language in social interaction, with Vietnamese as the central case. The book is positioned within research on a language described in the source as under-researched and less commonly taught.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers in pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and language learning
  • Readers studying Vietnamese as a native or target language
  • Those interested in speech acts, forms of address, and listener responses

Book overview

The volume offers a wealth of new information about the forms of several speech acts and their social distribution in Vietnamese as L1 and L2, complemented by a chapter on address forms and listener responses. As the first of its kind, the book makes a valuable contribution to the research literature on pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and language and social interaction in an under-researched and less commonly taught Asian language.
