بررسی گفته عمل و نقشهای زبانی در مکالمه های شنیداری مجموعه total english

this study was intended to analyze the listening tapescripts of the elementary and pre-intermediate levels of total english textbooks from the pragmatic dimension of language functions and speech acts in order to see whether the listening tasks are pragmatically informative or not. for this purpose, 8 conversations from the two books were selected randomly, and then, the two pragmatic models of halliday’s (1978) language functions and searle’s (1976) speech acts were applied to qualitatively analyze these sample listening tapescripts. furthermore, chi-square test was run to delineate the level of distribution for the specified pragmatic variables in the tapescripts. the results revealed that the recordings in these textbooks are not efficient due to both the lack of a number of language functions and speech acts and also the unequal distribution of these pragmatic variables.
