Jordanian-Australians refer to Australians of Jordanian ancestry or Jordan-born individuals who live in Australia. The study focused on how compliments are given and received in social intercultural settings in both Arabic and English. The study also examined how languages, cultures and associated metadiscourse practices, which existed in these participants, influenced their perceptions and practices of compliments. Furthermore, the research explored male Jordanian-Australians’ choice and use of compliment topics, syntactic structures, positive semantic carriers in compliments and compliment response strategies. The goal was to understand their intercultural attitudes, knowledge, skills of interpreting and relating, skills of discovery and interaction, and critical cultural awareness. | Publication Type: | Thesis Doctoral | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200401 Applied Linguistics and Educational Linguistics 200403 Discourse and Pragmatics 200405 Language in Culture and Society (Sociolinguistics) |
