Abstract:
This book analyses requests for action on the basis of natural video-recorded data of everyday interaction in British English and Polish families. Jörg Zinken describes in his analyses the features of interactional context that people across cultures might be sensitive to in designing a request, as well as aspects of cultural diversity.
