English in Europe is not one but many, and substantial differences
in the way people from different countries communicate using it may
cause misunderstandings. This book shows that, through research
into the pragmatic behaviour of non-native speakers of English from
across Europe, it is possible to uncover the core-the shared
strategies. This common pragmatic linguistic behaviour is proposed
as the basis for a reference guide for those who wish to
successfully communicate in English in Europe. The study reported
on in this book is based on the analysis of the speech act of
apologizing as realized by 466 respondents from 8 European
countries, all proficient users of English involved in
teacher-training programmes. The results Provide a basis for
practical teaching and in-class research.
