This study aims to compare the pragmatic competence of advanced Sudanese learners of English to that of native speakers when performing the speech act of complaint. The sample of this study involves sixty subjects: forty- six of them are Sudanese students pursuing graduate programs in English at four Sudanese universities and the rest are British native speakers of English. To generate data for this study, the subjects both native and nonnative are given a "Discourse Completion Test" wherein they are requested to provide their natural responses to three prompts denoting the target speech act of complaint. Responses of native speakers are reviewed to identify common components of the target speech act to establish a set of baseline responses. The responses given by the Sudanese advanced learners of English are then compared to the native speakers' of English. The results of this study show that the quality of the components produced by the Sudanese learners of English differ significantly from those made by the native speakers. It is shown that in spite of their relatively long period of learning English, the Sudanese sample doesn't demonstrate sufficient linguistic or socio-pragmatic skills that qualify them to produce appropriate complaint in English. The study ends up with a series of suggestions and recommendations that aim to enhance linguistic and cultural understanding of the target language. |
