Summary
In this chapter we introduce our framework, which givesspecific attention to speech acts as the centralpart of contrastive L2 pragmatic research. We willfirst introduce our framework, by devoting specialattention to how it views speech acts and how thisview relates to previous L2 pragmatic research. Wewill then introduce our typology of speech acts, andalso our view that in the use of this typology oneshould always study speech acts in relation to theother pragmatic units of expressions and discourse.Finally, we will outline our methodology throughwhich this typology will be put to use in theremainder of this book.
