人类交流中的默认假设是对话者之间的相互理解。然而，误解也会发生，语言在交际互动中有管理这些误解的资源。当说话者不共享母语时，误解通常会比同一语言的母语者之间更频繁地出现。然而，目前尚不清楚，沟通故障是更常见的第二语言使用者，预期的沟通困难本身可能抵消了大部分的麻烦，和扬声器诉诸积极主动的策略。本文探讨了在以英语为弗兰卡的大学学位课程中，参与者之间的误解及其预防。研究结果表明，发言人从事各种澄清和修复策略，显然是为了确保实现相互理解，从而实现重要的交际目标。
Abstract The default assumption in human communication is mutual intelligibility between interlocutors. Nevertheless, misunderstandings also occur, and languages have resources for managing these in communicative interaction. When speakers do not share a native language, misunderstandings are generally expected to arise more frequently than between native speakers of the same language. However, it is not clear that communication breakdown is more common among second language users; the anticipation of communicative difficulty may in itself offset much of the trouble, and speakers resort to proactive strategies. This paper investigates misunderstanding and its prevention among participants in university degree programs where English was used as a lingua franca. The findings suggest that speakers engage in various clarification and repair strategies in an apparent attempt to ensure the achievement of mutual intelligibility and thereby the achievement of important communicative goals.
