Abstract

The lack of knowledge about impolite disagreement strategies can result in misunderstanding and consequently lead to an unsuccessful process of communication. This study was an attempt to explore how male and female Iranian EFL learners might be different in their perception of impolite disagreement speech acts in relation to social power. To this end, 1080 cases of disagreement speech acts were collected through a Multiple Discourse Completion Task (MDCT) questionnaire from 60 upper-intermediate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners (30 males and 30 females). A structured interview was also conducted to realize the reasons for which the participants choose disagreement strategies. The data were analyzed based on the taxonomy of impoliteness proposed by Culpeper (2005). The results revealed that there is a significant difference in the frequency-use of impolite disagreement strategies employed by Iranian upper-intermediate EFL students. Moreover, it revealed that the gender of interlocutors makes differences in the use of strategies by participants and they had different preferences for male and female interlocutors when they opted for impolite disagreement. Moreover, it was revealed that the social power of interlocutors plays a key role in the use of impolite disagreement strategies used by participants. This study has implications for EFL instructors, EFL students, and EFL curriculum designers.
