It is a process that seems to take place without any obvious effort. Second language learning, particularly among adults, causes more difficulty.

Reseña del editor

Face-threatening speech acts such as refusals present particular problems for all human beings. These problems are exacerbated when individuals are not familiar with the culture in which these speech acts must be performed and do not have the communicative or linguistic facility to fully express their meanings. This book takes an in-depth look at the speech act of refusals as performed in English by native speakers of Japanese.
