| Politeness plays an important role in initiated e-mail requests sent from students to faculty. One such feature of requests susceptible to politeness is the degree of imposition, which is one of the important variables in speech act production. Although the literature on requests is abundant, there are few studies on low- and high-imposition requests, in general, and on Iranian L2 learners’ low- and high-imposition requests, in particular. Through analyzing L2 learners’ requests, this study was an attempt to explore the distribution of pragmalinguistic means when writing English e-mail requests with low- and high degrees of imposition. For the purpose of this study, a corpus of 208 e-mail requests was collected for a rigorous qualitative analysis. The e-requests were classified into 4 categories: information, validation, feedback, and action. They were, then, coded and analyzed. It appeared that, though similar in many ways, the distribution of request type, openings, head act strategies, and internal and external modifiers were relatively conditioned by the degree of imposition. The findings can have valuable resources for future studies of potential interlanguage pragmatics studies, which are concerned with L2 learners’ performance and pragmatic competence in L2 learning. | ||

| چکیده [English] | ||
| ادب نقش بسزایی در درخواست‌های الکترونیکی ارسالی ازسوی دانشجویان به دانشگاه ایفا می‌کند. یکی از ویژگی‌های درخواست‌ها که بر ادب تأثیرگذار است، درجۀ تحمیل است که از متغیرهای مهم در تولید کنش گفتاری است. اگرچه پژوهشهای مربوط به درخواست فراوان است، به‌طورکلی، مطالعات کمی در رابطه با درخواست‌های با درجۀ تحمیل کم و زیاد و به‌ویژه، درمورد درخواست‌های فراگیران ایرانیِ زبان دوم با درجۀ تحمیل متفاوت انجام شده است. در این مطالعه با تحلیل درخواست‌های زبان‌آموزان تلاش شده تا توزیع ابزارهای کاربردشناختیِ زبان در نوشتار درخواست‌های الکترونیکی انگلیسی با درجۀ تحمیل کم و زیاد مورد بررسی قرار گیرد. بدین منظور، 208 درخواست الکترونیکی برای تحلیل دقیق کیفی جمع‌آوری شد. این درخواست‌ها به چهار دستۀ اطلاع، تأیید، بازخورد و انجام کار طبقه‌بندی و سپس کدگذاری و تحلیل شدند. به نظر می‌رسد اگرچه درخواست‌ها از بسیاری جهات مشابه بودند، توزیع نوع درخواست، بخش اول، راهبرد‌های کنش اصلی و تعدیل‌کننده‌های داخلی و خارجی رابطۀ نسبتاً مستقیمی با درجۀ تحمیل داشته باشند. یافته‌های این مطالعه می‌تواند منبع ارزشمندی برای مطالعات کاربردشناختیِ بین‌زبانی آینده باشد که عملکرد و توانش فراگیران انگلیسی به‌عنوان زبان دوم را مدنظر دارند. | ||
