Interlanguage pragmatics: A response to Andrew Cohen's “Strategies for learning and performing L2 speech acts” published in Vol. 2, No. 3, of Intercultural Pragmatics

Andrew Cohen's contribution to the field of interlanguage pragmatics has been significant and fruitful. My aim here is not so much to evaluate his work critically as it is to point out weaknesses in the field of interlanguage pragmatics that are also present in his production. In view of the theoretical developments in the field of pragmatics, it would seem essential that interlanguage pragmaticians should review some of the theoretical foundations on which the field squarely rests.
